A playground designed to look like a fire truck! What more could a kid want than a Fire Truck Park and Playground!?

This playground is a must-see for kids fascinated with fire trucks or with dreams of becoming firefighters. The play structure is designed after a fire truck plus other features around the park playing on the same theme including a statue of a child dressed as a firefighter, fire hydrants, and a fire hose! 

This park is in a newer planned community on the southeastern edge of San Ramon. If you plan for it, you can hop to all the parks in the community. Each has its own fun theme.

The little tikes designed structure has two slides (a spiral and a double), steps, ladders, a sliding pole (firefighter pole if you will), an underneath play area with fun activities (including music, math, and finger mazes). There is a bench and a couple of steering wheels. There’s a swing set with both standard and bucket swings plus a sandbox. Look out for the cool mosaic made to look like buildings and fire and the hand-made tiles made by San Ramon Fire Family diving the woodchips from the sand. These mixed-level "buildings" make for a fun balancing/climbing/jumping activity!

The park also has a big grassy area for kids to run around, a bbq, plus picnic benches around the playground (some with chess boards built-in).

There are no bathrooms. Only street parking is available but there is plenty since three sides of this park are street. It is not gated, but the playground is a safe distance from the road.

She loves encouraging local families and visitors alike to laugh, play, and explore. There’s so much to see and do so get outside and do it! #amom2kidsandapark
