Such a fun park for kids! We brought our 15 month old and my friends brought their 2 year old. The…read morepark has an area for younger kids (2 years and up) and an area for older kids. My daughter was too young for either area, but she really enjoyed watching the dogs on the open field running around. I was only in town visiting, but would definitely recommend this park for any parents wanting to get outside and let their kids get their energy out!

The older kid structure has so many slides and is made like a fortress with a dinosaur in addition, there are picnic areas with tables and bbqs and lots of grass. There are bathrooms and baseball fields and a skate park and tennis courts too. It's huge with ample parking.

In the quaint little town of San Anselmo, CA (which happens to be tucked in between San Rafael and…read moreFairfax) lies "Imagination Park". For those that choose to visit, this is a very tiny park with only a couple of benches for sitting. Do not expect to see a playground nor is there even a water fountain or public restroom. And keep the dogs at home as this is not a pet-friendly park. The space itself is equivalent to that of a backyard of a standard house. Located right off of San Anselmo Ave. and tucked right in between Magnolia Ave. and City Hall Ave. in downtown San Anselmo, this park eventually came to life back in June 2013. This idea was spearheaded by film director George Lucas who directed mega blockbuster films such as the entire Star Wars Saga, the Indiana Jones franchise as well as American Graffiti. It is very easy to find as the location itself is just steps away from the San Anselmo Public Library as well as the Town Hall. I came here on a warmer than normal summer day on 7/15/2023 at around 4:10pm. After parking my SUV just a block away, I was awed with the beautiful collection of pink/lavender flowers with the plaque that reads Imagination Park directly above it. But the real treat here is the life-size statues of one of Star Wars most recognizable and beloved characters, "Yoda", And directly on the other side is a statue of Harrison Ford who played "Indiana Jones" in all 5 of the movies spanning from 1981-2023. While you're here, its nice just to let your imagination run wild (hence the name "Imagination" Park) and just appreciate how influential George Lucas is in all of his movies. He actually used to have a residence in San Anselmo before relocating to the more private and open Lucas Valley. So for all you movie fanatics young and old, do yourself a favor and check this place out if you're in the area. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

Once again, I've warned you my fellow Yelpers and random visitors perusing the Yelp app, don't set…read moreyour expectations too high when it comes to the size of the park. It's situated next to the San Anselmo Library, extremely small and not what you imagined (no pun intended). There are two statues here - Yoda and Indiana Jones, don't expect anything else. Be respectful when visiting this park. It's a lovely hangout spot like one of the Yelpers mentioned, go get some coffee and sit here and reminisce, or do whatever you want to kill time. It's definitely not a park with monkey bars and swings for the kids, so carry on. No hiking and no trails. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood and chillax.

Pixie is more than a playground - it's a community that has come together to care for the park…read morethrough a co-op model, and a special, safe gathering place, steeped in history. Pixie is gated for kids' safety and is specifically designed for children ages 0 to 6. Throughout the year, there are wonderful events - a Halloween parade, a Father's Day social, music classes, play dates, etc - for the Pixie community, all organized and paid for by the all-volunteer co-op. My kids and I love going to Pixie both for the park itself (sandbox, swings, little cars, monkey bars, slides and more) and for the new and old friends we meet there. Finally, I like that Pixie is an inclusive community. You do have to join the park to visit it (other than during monthly open houses, which are great!), but there are a range of options for doing so - there are heavily reduced rates for members who have more time to volunteer, grandparents, military, and those can can't afford to pay.

There are also two swings (no bucket swings)--one is very low to the ground, and one is slightly higher. There are some picnic benches around the outside of the play area, and there are two public restrooms available. Overall, this is a pretty nice park!

This park is located near the heart of Mill Valley restaurants and had both a play structure and a super fun creek. The kids (and grandpa) took off their shoes and walked through the water before going up to play and swing. Perfect spot for our 2 and 4 year old to do some exploring and playing. We came back the next day and had water shoes and a few more toys for the area. This location also has a picnic spot in the middle of tall trees that feels like a forest escape only a short distance (like 100ft) from the sidewalk. Very neat place if you're in the area. Kept the kids busy for about an hour. Playground is OK, total experience was the 4-5 star.
