The playground at Cadencia park is extremely small since it’s primary purpose is to serve the locals in the neighborhood but the big draw for us was to go biking on the surrounding trails. Henry loves a good bike/park combo (especially when the park has swings) so this park was great for us! Would have given it a higher rating if it were a little bigger and if there was a bathroom. 📍3310 Cadencia St, Carlsbad, CA 92009 🚙Free street parking 💰This park is free 🎠The play structure has bucket swings and is built on a rubber/sand ground surface 🚽NO restrooms 🧺1 picnic table 🖼Large lawn 🌟Clean grounds 🛣Far from busy roads but close to a neighborhood street 🏘Tucked into a quiet beautiful neighborhood 🥾Dirt hiking trails
