Head to the giant playground at Alameda Park for hours of fun, free play! Kids World is the very best playground in town. There are also wide, open areas with lots of room for games of tag or frisbee. You'll also find about a million trees and picnic benches, and a gazebo that hosts musicians on special occasions. This park is a great destination for a lazy afternoon spent reading or napping in the sun. It's also a fun place for a pick-up soccer game among friends. Event spaces and restrooms are available, and the park often hosts large city celebrations and events. The Earth Day and Summer Solstice festivals are held here. Near the also delightful Alice Keck Park, Alameda occupies two city blocks not far from the downtown area of State Street.
