The Preschooler's Guide to Los Angeles and Orange Counties

I love to go to the park. The more stuff the better. I love water elements, such as duck ponds, sprinklers to play in and great play structures. My absolute favorite playground so far is Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach. It is on the cover of my book.

Polliwog Park has two great play areas. One is for younger kids and is fenced in. It has baby swings, a smaller play structure and the rubberized play surface. The second play area is much larger with lots of different levels. It has a lighthouse complete with fog and a duck pond. My only critique is that the pond is not fenced and is easy to fall into.

I would love to hear about your favorite parks. You may leave a comment and tell us about your favorite park. I will pay it a visit and give it some space on the website!
