Magical Bridge Playground

This playground is insanely cool. These kids are so lucky.

The hills with the turf on them are such a highlight... bring some cardboard. It's the sled of choice for discerning children. ;)

We came here with the express interest to entertain our son. He is special needs, but an adult. We as parents were wondering if there might be something he could become interested in since this is suppose to be for all ages and caters to the spectrum of needs.
While he was able to participate in several of the choices available, he wasn't thrilled with most things. This is where brining someone on a regular basis to desensitize would come in handy. I think if we were able to utilize some of the exercised on a regular basis, there could be progress in spacial awareness, balance and the like.
What we all loved was the musical bridge. That was a joy.
It's nice to know that the people of Palo Alto can create such a giving space for those that truly have needs beyond the everyday and keep it in such exemplary condition.
I'm kinda jealous ;)

Took us a while to make our way over here. We have a magical bridge park in Sunnyvale but when we came here we noticed a huge difference in the feel of the place. Our toddler's favorite park. Enclosed but lots of space to run around. Feel very safe for both the kiddos and the parents. Can leave your stroller without worries.

Plenty of parking as it is attached to a community center, park, library etc. It can get busy about 1030am on the weekends and difficult to find parking as well.

Good place for kids, but very crowded and hard to find parking spots. There are many events and activities on weekends.

We love this playground! The playground is well maintained and is clean! We like that its gated all around, so we can enjoy the area without having to run behind the kids constantly.

Nice clean playground that's gated and has big slides . Probably worth checking out at least once on a weekend if you're in the area . AstroTurf hill for kids to slide down with cardboard , swings , spinning devices . Shade is okay , will be sunny in summer and noon . It's not all shaded only some parts are .

Magical Bridge in Palo Alto is a fun playground for kids to explore

Likes

* The two-story treehouse with a bridge. It has cute decorations which were recently painted over, so the house looks more vibrant than before
* Three tall slides: a roller slide, a slightly twisty slide, and a steep slide
* The hill: the kids like to slide down it, and they sometimes use a cardboard to go faster
* A smaller playground is available for small children

Dislikes

* It can get crowded, especially during the weekends and holidays
* The swing sets are not the typical kind. They seem clunky, heavy, and big to me

Excellent park. Fun for all ages! Located right across the street from King's Academy.

Dogs are welcome at the park but cannot enter the gated areas with the jungle gyms, slides, swings, etc.

It is new and still well-kept. There are also basketball and baseball courts and plenty of trash receptacles around!

Love coming to Magical Bridge! It's one of our favorite parks! We really enjoy coming during the weekdays when it's less crowded.

Magical Bridge has done an absolutely great job of limiting the capacity and making a safe play area for kids! They've hired staff to be at both the entrance and exits, and provide hand sanitizer when entering and exiting too! If you're little one can't wear a mask, they have a sticker they can wear! Currently they allow 30mins of play with up to 55 ppl inside. Everyone above 2yrs old needs to wear a mask or have the sticker that says they can't wear a mask. And of course main rain social distance of 6 feet.

Our current favorites inside the playground are the swings, roller slide, big treehouse, and the laser harp!

The staff (Alejandro, Trudy, Hendrick) have all been super friendly and helpful! Big shout outs to them for all of their hardwood!

TIPS
- Want to avoid the crowds? Come before 2:30pm on the weekdays and try to avoid friday, saturday, and sunday when there are long lines.
- Eat and drink before entering the park bc they don't allow food inside. Water is ok.
- I'd bring some extra baby wipes or paper towels to wipe down any water on the equipment in the mornings.
- Watch out for the smaller kids!
- Have fun!

Magic Bridge is a hit! There are so many activities in MB; slide zone, tot zone, swing zone, music zone and more!

I felt extremely safe with turf throughout the park. Plus there is a 55 person limit and everyone must sanitize their hands when entering.
If the MB is full there are 3 other playgrounds throughout the park.

While we were there we saw gymnast, Zumba, fencing and my husband got a kick from people playing g wiffle ball (I think that's what it's called).

There is a cool sandbox area and water spouts when weather is warm.

Anywho.. this park was amazing and no bird crap on trails or on the playground. I hate that.

Haha!
