We love this park for long scooter rides! It's also the perfect place to learn to ride a bike.
Mance Buchanon Park | Parks | Oceanside, CA
Free parking lot is a little far, but the walk through the harbor is worth it. Such a fun park for the kids to get some sand time in and it's far enough from the water to keep the kids away (if water play isn't something you want to do that day).

This is a cool park with a tall playstructure! Lots of bridges and tunnels to run through. Wood chip flooring.
