The park meant for all kids. It's wheelchair accessible. The slides were the most fun. Kids rolled down those slopes all ways possible. The treehouse is another different structure for quiet play. The little water stream was completely busy for the hot afternoon. There is plenty of public parking. Restrooms are clean. If you live in the neighborhood. Definitely worth checking out read more

My son had a wonderful time at Magical Bridge Playground. He especially enjoyed the water sensory area, spin zone, and playhouse stage. The playground is very kid-friendly, and there are so many things to do for children of all ages, whether you have a baby or a toddler. It's a fun and inclusive place for families, and we look forward to visiting again! read more

Met some friends and their kids here and it really is a wonderful playground! It is huge and love that it is enclosed and super inclusive for all kids. Appreciate the beautiful murals and saw lots of kids with cardboard boxes flattened to go down the slide area. Also plenty of parking which is perfect! read more

Magical Bridge Playground - Playgrounds Near Me - Redwood City, California

Beautiful park, great playground, and a few fields for sports. Restrooms don't get good cleaning needs improvement. 3.7/5

We love taking the kids to the Magical Bridge Playground at Red Morton! It's such an amazing and inclusive space with tons of fun features for kids of all ages and abilities. There's always something exciting for them to explore, and they truly never get bored. It does get pretty busy on nice days, and while it's well-designed, there is limited shade in some areas--so we definitely recommend bringing hats, sunscreen, and maybe even a little pop-up umbrella or sun cover if you plan to stay a while. Overall, it's one of our favorite parks in the area. The thoughtfulness behind its design is clear, and the joy it brings to kids is priceless. Highly recommend for families! read more

Super cool playground! It's fenced in which is great, and there are so many elements to it that it kept my kids entertained for hours! There is also a lot of seating available for parents. A favorite for my kids were the big hills to slide down on a piece of cardboard. Parking was easy and there was a lot of shade. We will definitely stop by again when in the area. read more

This is such a neat playground, with its bright colors, and a number of different zones and options for play, from the typical slides and other playground features to more inclusive options. The water features are very welcome on a hot day, but it can also get busy then as well. read more

I took my daughter to this park for the first time last week and we loved it. This playground had a rock structure with water play. My daughter had so much fun. There are also multiple slides of different styles that are also pretty neat. There is a building with artificial cakes and food so the kids can play kitchen, restaurant, or bakery. There's an area with pretty neat swings of different styles and they are all inclusion swings. This park really caters to kids of all ages and disabilities. There's baby swings along with more water play on the other side of the park as well as a large field. I will definitely come back to this park to show my son. It is an awesome park. read more

Great playground, various things for kids to do. Different sections and zones. Cardboard boxes for the hills made it seem dirty, wish parents who let kids bring them cleaned up. read more

tl;dr one of my fantastic playgrounds in the Peninsula. Love the soft flooring with multiple sections for various ages. Slides, play houses, water toys (don't forget a set of clean clothes!). There is also a ton of shade, which is great on sunny days. I do wish there is dedicated picnic tables within the play area as there was a no eating/drinking policy. There is open grass nearby, but not much shade. Plenty of street parking around the area. read more

I was initially very excited to see this park built because inclusive play is important. I would drive by to see the progress and once it opened I stopped by with my kids. The park was EXTREMELY PACKED! Not an empty play structure in sight. I came when it was warm so the sun was booming on the entire playground. The house is probably the only spot that gets decent shade. We checked out all the play structures and I was excited to see the swings and other areas set up for those who are in wheelchairs and have other needs can access them. There's a water area that is super POPULAR. There were kids running around everywhere so it was hard to enjoy playing on the park. All of the swings were busy and when I came back the same people and groups were still hovering over them. The park is cool but it took up too much space from what the previous Red Morton park looked like. There's less grass area for free play. When the park is busy it's not accessible. I also noticed it's not baby or toddler friendly. The kids running around are anywhere from 5 years and up. Moms and dads chatting it up not watching their kids. My recent visit my kiddo was playing on the water and some kid came and stepped on finger. Parents need to WATCH their kids and understand they aren't the only kid playing there and SHARE. This gives everyone a chance to play on things. It's the parents job to move around so other kids can access the park as well. On a hot day this is not the place to be. Red Morton used to be more diverse before this park was built. It has lost its overall appeal and is always crowded. read more

Went to visit this playground for their take on the concrete slide. Kiddos had fun. More bathrooms would be great. There are only two bathrooms to a kids playground and one was out of order. Install sinks outside by the playground to wash dirty hands. read more

I love this place!! There are so many things that make this playground special. To start, the playground is nestled between tennis/pickle ball courts, a public library, and a large park with lots of open space for recreational activities. You could literally spend your entire day there, and the entire family would be entertained. The magical bridge playground specifically is cool because every element of the playground was selected intentionally. Even the Hill that has all the slides has a twist to it. I really appreciate that. There is an educational, Montessori vibe. Lastly (to speak to the vibe again), the energy is so chill and peaceful at this playground as well. I don't know why or how, but we always leave feeling calm, relaxed, and smiling. read more

I didn't take any photos due to having a baby with me but this place is awesome! We needed to stop somewhere for baby to move around on our way back to SJ from the city. It isn't right off the freeway but it's worth it. On a Saturday at noon, the park was busy because there was a Pub in the Park event with beer, food trucks, and live music. I was still able to find parking, though none of it was in the shade. They have 3 restrooms that are gender neutral and have changing stations but they are super smelly. I didn't use it for my baby. The winner for us was the toddler section underneath redwoods. It has a water table, infant swings & more. Beware of the ice cream trucks just waiting for temptation. read more

Nice gated playground with some variety of options for kids ages 1-7. Overall safe because of the gate and in a good neighborhood. Loved it and will go back. read more

It is a fantastic park in a really nice location. Plenty of space to hold parties. The play area is huge and keeps the occupied. Lots of shades and sitting areas for the parents. And it is absolutely free. I wish there were more parks like this closer to our house in San Jose! read more

Great playground with plenty of street parking. I took my almost 2 year old here and it was a pretty hot day in Redwood City. There were shaded areas with Adirondack chairs where the toddler area was which was really nice for me and my son to take breaks at. There's a big water feature by the entrance and a smaller water feature in the toddler section. There were also a lot of slides and a slide where you use cardboard to ride down on which looks really fun. There are a bunch of big kid swings on the other side of the park and a musical structure. We walked around a bit but he's so small that only the toddler area was safest for him to roam and play at. Since it was summer time, there were a lot of groups of kids a bit older maybe middle school(?) that were taken there with their summer programs like YMCA and other similar organizations. There were a lot of ice cream trucks that parked over here too so that was cool. I wish there were other food trucks but there's not food allowed inside the playground itself so it's ok. There are plenty of grassy areas, some with shade, you can have a nice picnic on though. Next time I'll come ready with a blanket. I took off a star because of a lot of bigger kids that were over 5 years old kept playing and running around in the toddler section and putting a bunch of cardboard and other crap in the water play station in the toddler area. It was annoying to me because they have the rest of the park to play at and I feel like the adults that brought them there should supervise better so that smaller kids can have a safer space to run around without worry of getting trampled by running bigger kids. The toddler area itself was already fenced but didn't have a gate or anything to fully separate it. I think it's mostly the people who are suppose to be supervising kids who aren't really doing their job. read more

Magical Bridge Playground - Back of tree house view from the shady toddler area - Playgrounds Near Me - Redwood City, California

We got to the Redwood City Magical Bridge Playground at 3pm on a Sunday in August. The two main parking lots were full, but there was lots of turnover so I found a spot immediately. There is a third lot that is a little further, you would have to walk through like a kids softball field, but that lot was mostly empty. The playground is really nice, with a 2-story playhouse, a couple spin structures, a fake kid's theater, and lots of slides and sloped ground. It gets very hot here, there isn't much shade in the playground area! There was a Shakespeare in the Park play going on in the grass field, and there was an ice cream truck parked in the 3rd (emptiest) parking lot. read more

This park is 2 blocks from our house, so for us, it's an amazing resource and much bigger than most playgrounds in our local area, including Stafford and Burton. However, it's potentially not worth it for everyone. Pros: Inclusive play structures, for example there's multiple slides with different ways to get up to the top (stairs, ramps, ropes to help you pull up, or just climbing up a rubber hill. There's different types of slides (ones that have rollers, ones that are metal). Also different types of swings, including ones that you can ride on with your child). Very cute playhouse for imaginary play. They try to enforce sanitation at this playground, so no food allowed and no pets (although I see people violating this with dogs more frequently recently). Fenced in, which helps with escape artists like my 2 year old son. Musical play area where you move and musical notes play - one of my son's favorite parts. Cons: The tot zone is ok. There's not much there aside from a few rockers and a couple swings and small slides. There's this water play area but the water's always kind of gross. If you're looking for primarily a fenced in tot structure, you'll have better luck at Burton or Stafford. Huge place and the tot zone, main play area and swings are pretty far from each other, so hard to supervise more than one kid who may be interested in different things. Some of the structures aren't placed in the safest way - for example, the area with the swings is fairly narrow and small kids are constantly coming close to getting knocked out running in front of the swings (which are huge and heavy by the way). There's also a large rock structure that has water in the summer - while it's fun for older kids, smaller kids are going to need supervision. Similar to the Palo Alto Magical Bridge playground, it's often crowded with bigger kids who play rough. The slide area is often littered with box pieces by end of day because people bring boxes to slide down with (definitely fun, but please take it with you). Crowded parking situation adjacent to the park. You may have better luck parking in the other lots adjacent to Red Morton Community Center (bit of a walk) or the Community Center on Roosevelt (fairly close). The park has lost some paths due to senior center construction so getting across the park is easier walking closer to Roosevelt ave than the Madison side. The bathroom is FILTHY. We've been in there multiple times and I'd rather have my kid hold it in until we get home. read more

I was happy to visit this location as we frequent the one in Sunnyvale. Just as spacious with a nice separate slides and hours according to age. I did appreciate that there was a nice lady who had set up arts and crafts for the kids which I think they do every month and she was very patient with all the kids. read more

My daughter is 18 months and she loved it here. Neatness - It's so neat and clean and they have a policy to not bring glass containers inside the play area which was pretty cool. Playground - Surely a must visit place if you have kids and stay near by. They have so many swings like a huge play house , a water fountain , an artificial rock climbing area and of course separate playgrounds for infants. The slides are built above artificial grass which is a very great idea as even if the kids fall while trying to get to the top of slide it doesn't hurt that bad. Parking - There is a huge parking available and its free and so is the admission. Can't wait to be back. read more

This is such a fun place to take tour kids to! It has just been updated, so lots of fun activities to do. They have lots of different climbing structures as well as musical activities. And the best thing is they have small little fountains for kids to play in. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes! Best place ever! read more

It truly is magical. So much variety and all free! My 3 year old absolutely loved her time there!

My son and I love magical bridge playgrounds all over Silicon Valley. We've even met the founder while doing a walk thru who gave us insight on her vision for the kids. However, we've encountered some rude volunteers (mostly very old woman) esp at this location in RWC. We've been to all locations and do abide with the no food or drink rule but I was finishing up my coffee cup looking for a trash to toss out and she was aggressively pointing at the sign at the gate. Like, LADY USE YOUR WORDS or KINDLY REMIND US to finish our food and drink outside. I'm a parent not a kid. You're surrounded by families kids and parents. There's a different attitude you should uphold, esp when you're also just a volunteer with a blue vest on. read more

Lots of fun. My daughter loves it and it's a shady fun way to spend an hour or two. read more

This place was amazing. Got there at 9am right after my 2 year just finished his powdered donut, so he was ready to go crazy! There wasn't anyone there when we got there, so it was perfect. He would run from the Slides, to the swings, into the Play house, onto the spinning chair ride, back to the slide. He had a great time. He really enjoyed the music piece that made noises as he stomped on it and it was fun to see him enjoying the new park. I see a lot of notices about hot surfaces, as I can imagine as its RWC and in the summer can be HOT. Check this place out....and its FREE!! read more

Fun park full of unique play structures and lots to explore. Colorful so keeps kids excited and busy. I liked the no food policy on the grounds because this has kept the playground clean. read more

I had very high hopes for this play ground and drove a good distance to bring my 5 and 1 year old here. All in all it was meh, nothing to special about. I liked that they had a ton of slides. The park is so huge it's kind of hard if you have 2 kids going in different direction. There wasn't anything that was suited for my 1 year old, probably won't be going back here. read more

How much more can be said about the Magical Bridge Playgrounds that isn't already public knowledge? These playgrounds are fantastic and are staples for parents in the South Bay and Peninsula. Redwood City is the last of three that I have visited and may be my favorite, just narrowly edging out the Sunnyvale location. I love how everything is well spaced out and that there is ample parking. This location is also the most colorful when it comes to the art or murials. Your little one(s) will not have any complaints so bring them over for a good energy drain session. read more

Such a great playground! Lots of activities that can help with sensory development. Various slides, swings, and spinning, climbing, splashing options. Lots of kid friendly turf. There's a cute theater as well. We came on a weekend and it was packed, would probably enjoy this more during the week when it's less crowded. Would bring your child's swimsuit and/or a change of clothes in the summer, there are two water areas! read more

Hate this park. Kids go flying off the three turn things constantly and the bars that come up to let wheelchairs on bash kids constantly in the head. So many other parks that are way better then this one read more

Truly magical! Great for kids that are mobile and older. So much to do, extremely clean and many areas to keep kids entertained for hours. Can get really busy during the weekends. Older kids can get wild so you will need to keep close to your toddlers. Bring a hat, sunscreen and change of clothes. Limited shade. read more

Amazing! Brought my kids here today and this park was something special. I thought we had to pay for admission but nope-it's free! The park includes a huge two-story play house, an artificial rock climbing area with a light waterfall/fountain that kids can sit/play in and they absolutely LOVE it! 5 slides atop a hill made of artificial grass, the hill was just as popular as children and a bunch of parents were sliding down together while sitting on cardboard. Unique chair swings, a huge rocking boat that sits up to eight, spinning structures, and so much more! Colorful wooden lawn seating all around the playground in nice shaded areas for parents to sit and keep an eye on their children. So much fun! We spent two hours here today and honestly haven't felt this happy while leaving a park unless it's Disneyland. read more

Such a fun kids park with unique slides and activities especially the rumble slide. Kids loved it.

Great and exciting place for the little ones to play. Today my family and a friend's family visited this park. We had food from diner japonica (take out only) and found the picnic area nice and shaded. They even had a list of reservations so you know when it will be needed for parties. Luckily there wasn't any today so we enjoyed our lunch there while there was a soccer game playing. Area is nice and clean and the trash cans were not overflowing. After lunch we went to the park area where my kid screamed for ice cream from the ice cream cart. Surprisingly the ice cream was inexpensive at $3 but we had to wait outside to eat since there was no food allowed. Then we needed to use the restroom and long line was already there. Too bad the waiting area isn't shaded. Anyway our kids had a fun time sliding down the various slides and playing in the water features. All the kids and parents were very polite and was there to ensure all the kids had a good time, not just theirs. Would definitely go again. read more
