Parks For Kids!
My kids love this park! I love that the parking lot is far enough from the park so my kids are not near the street & that there are wood chips. There are climbing structures, a big & small play gym, as well as lots of grass!
Adventures at Boulders Park
This is a pretty area to walk around with kids or dogs. There are benches & picnic tables on the East side of the lake, along with a jungle gym suited for older toddlers & up
Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch
This park is awesome for toddler aged kids! There is a splash pad & lake area on ground level, then a covered playground up further on a hill. Has the rubber pad stuff, no sand or wood chips!
Mansel Carter Oasis Park
This is a small park, perfect for toddlers! I love that it has wood chips & a covered area to eat at picnic tables
Cosmo Dog Park
This park is fairly new & has the rubber type ground. It's very large & multilevel so I think it's best for ages 3 & up. There are also little hills with tunnels that are fun but make it harder to keep an eye on smaller kids IMO
Frontier Family Park
This park features a gated splash pad as well as a park with wood chips. The park is better for kids age 3 & up IMO as it's sort of high up
Founders' Park
This park is huge! It features a splash pad, lower level area, upper level area & lots of grass near a lake. If you have multi age kids, I'd bring another adult to help keep track of them! Super fun though!
Gilbert Regional Park
COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE
My kids & I love this place! They usually want a kids strawberry smoothie & I love their egg bites & pumpkin cream cold brew!
Scooter's Coffee
This place is newer & sooo yummy! They use a powder creamer in a lot of their drinks & it makes it sooo creamy! Their breakfast sandwiches slapppp too!
Better Buzz Coffee Gilbert
Don't come at me for this one, Matt & Ethan at the Higley/Warner location make the best donuts & iced coffee!! We love an iced Carmel coffee, midnight brew with cream & pink sprinkle donuts!
Dunkin'
I know this one is a bigger company but their coffee is so smooth & mellow! I love how it never tastes burnt! Their mini cookies are amazing as they're from a local bakery & I love their iced blonde, half sweet though! Trust me!!
Black Rock Coffee Bar
This local coffee shop is so yummy! I love their OG vanilla latte or lavender matcha! They also have an upper section inside to sit if you have time to relax. Super cute vibes!
Peixoto Coffee Roasters
I've been coming here for years & I love everything I've tried! The cupcakes, brownies & cookies are next level & the coffee is always smooth & delish! My go to is a Carmel iced coffee, add cinnamon!
