This small park is literally and figuratively the heart of the Del Prado neighborhood in Pleasanton. Parking is plentiful and there are just the right amount of picnic tables and benches nestled among the greenery and trees.
Del Prado Park has a basketball court, swings and play structures for both big and little kids. But the best feature of the park is the large concrete slide. On any given day, you'll spot neighborhood kids learning about the laws of physics on this slide, and there are usually large pieces of cardboard, mostly from packing boxes, lying around to aid them in their play.
The park is safe and free of pass-through traffic, and the people are super-friendly. So whether you're visiting or have just moved into town, come on over. And be sure to bring some cardboard boxes, preferably broken down, if you do. The neighborhood kids will thank you! read more
