People come from all over the world to play here while visiting Monterey. There is a special tot area, while even adults can enjoy some of the play structures, such as the swinging pedestrian bridge. (There are separate waymarks for several of the playground's specific features.) The park was designed by Hank Ketcham, the creator of Dennis the Menace comics, and was opened in 1956. Since then it has undergone several major renovations including the addition of a giant rollerslide, an adventure ship, a children's climbing wall, picnic tables and new restrooms. The playground is huge but completely fenced with only one entrance so children can be allowed to wander safely.
