Orloff Park — Pleasanton

Orloff is an 8-acre park has two playgrounds and so much more!

The larger playground is incredible. It’s probably more for kids 5+ but my daredevil nearly 2 & nearly 4-year-olds weren’t even phased by the height, climbing options, or new elements. This multi-level structure has three slides (one double & two very tall sidewinders), a climbing net tower with a neighboring net for practicing your American ninja warrior routine, a climbing wall, two very tall ladders leading to the top level (which is also accessible by a shorter ladder in the middle & stairs if you enter on the other side, a tube tunnel, a roller pad (like a slide but standing on your feet. You just use your hands on the side rails to make you roll down), elevated stepping stones, a balance rope, & various other unique ladders. This play area also has a tire/disk swing, sandbox with two excavators, & a merry-go-round.
On the other side of the basketball courts is another playground with twoish structures, swings (bucket, chair, and a different version of the double seat I’ve seen at other parks) plus a four-person teeter-totter. The smaller of the two structures here is modeled after a train & has two slides, steps, & activities. The larger structure has four slides (two straight, one spiral, one sidewinder), stairs, ladders, activities, monkey bars, elevated stepping stones, & a crocodile balance beam (a hit with my Peter Pan loving boy).
Both play areas have a good amount of shade and a comfortable distance to the street. 
Despite how some pictures look this place was busy. There was a moms exercise group on the basketball court, a few nannies/parents with multiple kids, & bigger kids here on their own. 
There are no bathrooms & it’s neighborhood street parking so make sure to only park in guest spots.
