Petaluma Playground Guide

When I decided to come back to blogging again after my year break, I really wanted to start incorporating local places and events into my writing. The Bay Area has much to offer and sharing here has really helped keep me accountable to making the most out of us living here. In my Bay Area Kids Fun series, I review kid friendly places in the entire Bay Area and I also have started sharing local guides as well.   

Today I am sharing a city parks playground guide!

City Parks Playground Guide:

This guide is a comprehensive list of every city park that has a playground. I have included the types of play equipment, swings, sand, and any extras relevant to families. Also below I have added pictures of every playground as well.

Petaluma Classes and Entertainment Guide

Moving across the country to a city that you know absolutely nothing about is a very humbling experience. Besides a year in Florida, I had lived my whole life in the same city in Illinois. It is a decent sized city (second to Chicago), but it doesn't take long to learn everything the place has to offer (kids entertainment, food, classes, schools, etc.). People complain that there is nothing to do there all the time, but still I think we all find huge comfort in knowing a place well. 

It has been exciting discovering a new city (and surrounding areas), but it doesn't come without its frustrations. Even today with all the technology (apps, websites, social media), it can be hard to find everything that is available. And as a (mostly) SAHM, I need to know all the possible options to help get us out of the house. In my efforts to do so, I have come up with some pretty comprehensive lists. I figured others would find them of good use as well, so I am sharing them here publicly on my blog. I have broken them down into different categories and here is my first: 

Classes and Paid Entertainment:

This is an index of classes for children listed by category. At the end, I also added paid entertainment/entertainers to hire for parties.
