I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
When you live in the city, a beautiful park is a great place to get away for a bit and enjoy nature. If you have little ones, that park better have a playground in it, right? Well, there are plenty of those in the Golden State’s towns and cities, but a few of them are truly unique. This cool playground in Southern California is definitely one of a kind and has a nature theme that is fun for kids of all ages.
The fun nature-themed playground is part of the gorgeous Vista Hermosa Natural Park in the heart of Los Angeles.
Parents will find the children's playground in this area is full of large natural rocks, great for kids to climb and scramble over without being too far off the ground.
The area is beautifully landscaped and has many trees and benches for parents to sit nearby and watch kids play.

This giant turtle seems to emerge from the rocks. The shapes in his shell, head, and arms are designed for even young children to safely climb, sit, play, and slide.
A giant snake slithers through a large section of the playground. Kids love to scramble over and slide off of the long sections that rise from the ground.
We think this unusual nature-themed playground is pretty cool. What do you think? What is your favorite playground in Southern California?
