Gated play area, easy parking, water feature, clean restrooms. My 4-year-old loves playing here.

a review from amom2kidsandapark.com A beautiful park in a quiet neighborhood of San Carlos! This place feels so secretive. The entrance is barely noticeable from the road and the two back ways in are tucked in a neighborhood or behind a business’ parking lot. Along with the two gated playgrounds, Laureola Park has open grassy space, a ball field, a basketball court, a handball wall, picnic areas, a community center with a lovely mural on it’s double doors and a splash pad. The taller of the two playgrounds has a two-story structure with steps, ladders, two slides (a long sidewinder and a short bumpy), an angled climbing wall, and activities. The taller slide is only accessible via ladder. There is a small picnic bench inside the gate and very close to the structure. This gated area also has a swing set with standard and chair swings. The flooring was super squishy and I loved the little silhouettes of woodland creatures and acorns found throughout. The other gated playground is adjacent to the first and there is an entryway from the first. The second is geared more towards smaller kids, but the different balancing and climbing elements makes it fun for all! There is a small boudler with an attached slide, a hut, a balance beam, and a play structure. The play structure has a double slide, arch ladder, angled rock wall, a disc ladder, and activities. The style balance beam at this playground is so unique! I’ve never seen another like it. It's called a Ripple and when you walk on it it feels like you’re walking on ripples of water! There is a swing set with bucket-only swings and a picnic bench. Exiting via the big playground or through a separate gate will get you to the picnic area with bbq. There is a restroom with a water bottle fill station! Easy street parking on Bayport Ct or Bayport Ave. In the parking lot off of Old Country Rd behind Heating Supply Company. If you come hungry there's a Mexican spot nearby called El Maguey and although we didn't eat there it smelled so good and looked pretty busy!

Great local park. Exceptional play structure with a really tall tower, great slide and cool ‘log’ structures. Great baseball diamond and water play as well.

It's a smaller park with a large grassy area for soccer and baseball, basketball court, a water feature area that turns on in the summer, picnic tables, restrooms, and two gated play areas each with swings: one for small kids (4 or younger as the structures are quite small) and another for older kids (more ideal for 5+ since the structure is two stories tall). There's some tree shade in the mornings and afternoons over the playground so it's not too hot. Sufficient dedicated parking and the restrooms are usually pretty clean!

Small Park. Playground is great. Bathrooms are clean. Good size field with beautiful grass! Parking is limited.
