Susan and I traveled down to my old neck of the woods (Orange County) and went to Adventure Playground in Huntington Beach (Central Park and Goldenwest). We had a great time. It is basically a pond of muddy water with wooden "rafts." The kids are allowed to stand on the wood and push themselves with sticks. There is also a mud slide down a hill, a rope bridge and a tire swing. On the other side of the park, is an area for the children to build forts with real wood, hammers and nails. The great part for the kids is that they can get as dirty as they want and mom cannot say a thing.
We brought our lunches, beach chairs, towels and a change of clothes. Everyone is required to wear tennis shoes (however if you forget they have a pile of old shoes you can borrow which I had to do). I suggest OLD clothes. The cost is $3 for Huntington Beach residents and $4 for non-residents.
Our kids had a fantastic time. When we arrived, there were a lot of camp children but at around noon they all left to have lunch and we had the place to ourselves. We stayed for about two and a half hours and I still had a hard time getting my chidlren to leave. They explored on their own but I was was still able to keep an eye on them from a distance. It was definetly an Adventure.
