If it were left up to our kids, summer would probably be endless, with warm temperatures and water play every day of the year. But, with the mercury falling, it’s time to shift gears from surf to turf, and usher in a new season of sandbox fun. We’ve done the sifting for you, and have found the Bay Area’s most stupendous sandboxes. So, stock your trunk with buckets, shovels, diggers and dump trucks— and maybe a dust buster—because the parks on this list will have your little one getting down and dirty across the Bay.
What sandboxes do you and your little digger love to play in? Let us know in the comments below!
