Lower Arroyo Seco Nature Park
Oodles of untamed paths to explore as you saunter beneath historic bridges in this innovative wetlands restoration project. Try to float a small boat or rubber ducky down the creek, or watch the bicyclists speed along the in-channel path. The 2-mile path may be more of a hike than you're after, but for a small walk, try exploring the creek. Older kids might go for the archery range and training facility.
WARNING: This park has Poison Oak, keep an eye out and keep to the paths.
