General Getty Neighborhood Park

Did you know that they still make playgrounds out of wood (or at least, they did back in 1998, when General Getty Playground was built?) And I wasn't the only one who appreciated the novelty; my four-year-old was enamored with this playground's three climbing structures and abundant grassy space. The structures were mostly familiar, but the tiniest bit not to the usual code -- a bit more loosely-constructed, slopes a bit steeper, bars set a bit farther apart -- and that seemed enough to make it really interesting to him.

I suspect the structures would be a bit too basic to hold older kids' attention for long, but if you bring some balls or jump ropes, the huge expanses of grass should provide a great play area.

Bonus: There is a porta-potty stationed in the small parking lot.
