The list
The 80 with the most evidence
A big playground is not the same as a playground for a two-year-old. These are the San Diego places where visitors mention bucket swings, a separate tot lot, low slides, or simply say it worked for their toddler. 223 of the 469 playgrounds we cover in San Diego qualify, and 222 of those are backed by visitor reports rather than the official listing alone. The order below follows how much visitors have actually said, not the rating.
