Griffith's Farmer's Market is like a mini festival every Friday from 4 to 10pm. First of all, there is a free park, water fountains, and bathrooms; so you automatically have somewhere to entertain the kiddies if they become restless. The food trucks offer a variety of scrumptious dishes: taco dinners, pretzels, shish- ka-bobs, wood fire pizzas, tamale dinners, grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken- waffles, and Puerto Rican cuisine as well. The other vendors had homemade dog treats, jewelry, clothes, and wooden signs. In the food court, there is a separate beer garden which offers a variety of ales along with wine.

The playground is great for slightly older kids - under 5's will still have fun, but most of the structures are meant for those over 5 or 6, I'd say.
The playground is laid out such that it's fairly easy to keep an eye on multiple kids without needing to move around too much, which I appreciate as a father of 4.
There are bathrooms right by the playground, which is convenient, and they seemed well maintained and fairly clean for public restrooms.
The biggest issue is that the playground has no shade. There are trees and some benches under them, but depending on the time of day kids might be in full sun for the entire...
