Answer
Playgrounds, open fields, and seasonal lights give kids variety beyond pier rides—especially for multi-night uptown stays. It is not a guarded ocean beach; combine park time with a street-end beach block you already know. Event nights can be loud near fields—bring ear protection for light-sensitive toddlers at fireworks-adjacent festivals.
