Mission Hills Park in Pleasanton Has a Hillside Slide, Two Playgrounds, Grassy Space, and Miles of Sidewalks!

I just love a park with a hillside slide!

There are two playgrounds, a half basketball court, a creek, bridges, exercise equipment, grassy open space, miles of sidewalks, and picnic areas with BBQs (plus one site with a covering).

The metal 50-foot double hillside slide was our big draw to this park. There are a couple of bumps on the way down to help slow the slider, but even so, it makes for a fun rush! Getting to the top of the slide is easy. Use the stairs to the left, the inclined rock wall to the right, or the steps behind it. Of course, there's always the option of running up the hill as well! 

Near the slides is a swing set with both standard and bucket swings. Just beyond that is the green playground.

The green playground is a bit taller than normal, with lots of climbing opportunities. There is one straight slide, steps, various ladders, a unique bridge, a rock wall, a rope wall with step rings, a large sphere for hopping from one platform to the next, activities, and a little room with a serving window for some pretend restaurant play (wood chip nachos are my favorite). If the structure isn't enough for your kids, the play area also has climbing boulders with parallel ropes, stepping stones, a big mountain lion statue, and a mallet instrument.

The second playground is a bit more traditional. It has three slides (sidewinder, double, and straight), a bridge, steps, ladders, a tunnel, activities, and pirate theme face cutouts for photo ops!

Connecting the two playgrounds are lots of sidewalks with exercise equipment (some of the equipment I've never seen before like the giant Pikler Triangle and incredibly high monkey bars), bridges, big shade trees, and so much beautiful grass!

I loved this park… even if it was 100 degrees out!

There are no bathrooms, and it is street parking only.
