Last weekend I took my 3 boys to see a good friend of mine (hi Jessica!) that I honestly haven’t seen in years (unfortunately Motherhood will do that to ya I guess..). We hung out with her crew for a few hours and then towards the way back home we popped by another playground that I found on google maps.
Frederick Creighton Park in Milpitas is such a gem for families! It’s a fantastic spot for kids to run wild, especially with its fenced-in playground that gives me peace of mind. The play structures are well-maintained and offer a variety of fun for different age groups, making it a great place for little adventurers. It’s also spacious enough for kids to burn off all that endless energy!
Now, about the bathroom… let’s just say it’s not the park’s strong suit. It’s small, bare-bones, and honestly gives off major “jail cell” vibes—not exactly the experience you’d hope for during a fun day out. So, if you’re heading there, I’d recommend coming prepared or planning a quick trip to a nearby restroom if needed.
Overall, though, it’s a solid spot for a family outing (just cross your fingers you don’t need the restroom).
Get ready for an exciting 2025 because big things are coming to spiffykerms! With my middle boy officially signed up for TK this fall, a whole new chapter is beginning, and I can’t wait to bring you all along for the journey. As a mom of three, my days are undeniably busy, and sure perhaps a little chaotic as it will continue to be, but with two of my boys in school, I’m eager to refocus on writing, exploring, and sharing all the things and updating this blog more.
If you haven’t been to the Tunnel Tops playground in San Francisco yet, stop what you’re doing, pack up the kids, and go. This place is pure magic—a perfect blend of breathtaking views, imaginative play spaces, and that unmistakable is a Bay Area vibe that makes you feel alive. I’m telling you, this spot has it all, and has become one of my favourite places to take the boys when we’re in the city.
The views— wow. Perched above the Presidio, Tunnel Tops offers jaw-dropping panoramas of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the sparkling waters of the Bay. It’s the kind of view that makes you pause and just soak it all in. Whether you’re a local or visiting from out of town, it’s a postcard-perfect backdrop that never gets old.
Whether you’re looking for an incredible playground, a gorgeous spot for a picnic, or just a place to unwind with your family, Tunnel Tops is it. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again.
