There’s nothing quite like the rush of cool wind through the hair and warmth of the sun on your face. Pretty soon, your kiddo reaches higher and higher toward the sky and they feel like you’re flying! If your kiddo wants nothing more than an afternoon playing on the swings at the park, then take them outside for some fresh air and fun. We’ve rounded up East County’s best parks for a playdate, birthday party or a scooter ride. Click through the slideshow to see where your next playdate awaits!

Shadow Hill Park

If you're looking for the perfect place for the kids to ride bikes or scooters, this is it! A big path circles the playground and a huge covered picnic structure and provides a great place for parents to chat while the kids play here. There’s a clip-clop bridge and crawling tunnel for little ones and plenty of slides and monkey bars for your big kids to monkey around on. You’ll also find a well-maintained basketball court and tennis courts here. Bonus: The playground has terrific shade covers, which are perfect for hot days.
