Carousel – This historic carousel came from Playland-at-the Beach, an early
20th century amusement park at Ocean Beach. The horses on the carousel have
been beautifully restored, down to the horse hair tails on the horses. Fun
for the little ones. |

Martin
Luther King Jr. Waterfall – On a warm day, this waterfall is a
wonderful place to play. Dabble little fingers in the water, trace the water
flow from the upper pool, down a series of "cataracts" into the
lower pool. Go behind the waterfall several times (you might get a little
wet). Next to the waterfall is the Esplanade, a wide grassy area
to run around. Bring a picnic and sit out in the sun like lizards. |
