Free, shaded and good for letting young kids roam, with a treehouse to climb in the kids' garden and a loop through the wider grounds. The catch: reviewers say the kids' area opens only one day a week, and one turned up to find it shut. Check the opening day before setting out.
This 33-acre hillside garden's Kids' Adventure Garden, added in 2003, is open Sundays only, with a treehouse, a pirate's cave, a zoo garden, and even dinosaur-shaped topiaries. It's free (donations welcome) and playful by design — made for curious kids to run, climb, and explore.

Such an awesome free space for the kids to run around. Has access to a nice little loop around the botanical gardens! Wish it was open more.

Amazing botanocal with 33 acres and a kids playspace open on Sundays. Playspace has a tree house to climb in and a pirates skull. A hidden treasure.
