Bowers Park features:
🌱Large main structure with ramp access to lower levels — lots of features and room for many kids (theoretically very accessible, though tanbark negates a lot of the value)
🌱Really cool, creative climbing structure
🌱Small but fun toddler/preschooler structure
🌱Several swing types, including parent/child swing and saucer, plus spinner and spring features
🌱Large grassy field and picnic tables
🌱Restrooms (though they’re waaaaay across the lawn)
🌱Street parking on Barkley Avenue side is closest to the playground
.
Negatives:
❌No shade to speak of
❌Tanbark ground surface (kind of negates the benefits of the very accessible structure)
.
Overall a great park, worth checking out! Climbers and monkey bar aficionados will love it. Bring balls, kites, or bubbles for playing on the lawn, or scooters/roller skates to practice in the circular paved area.
.
Main entrance is on Cabrillo Ave between San Tomas and Bowers, though driving around to the Barkley Ave entrance puts you closer to the playground.
.
Enjoy!
