If it were left up to our kids, summer would probably be endless, with warm temperatures and water play every day of the year. But, with the mercury falling, it’s time to shift gears from surf to turf, and usher in a new season of sandbox fun. We’ve done the sifting for you, and have found the Bay Area’s most stupendous sandboxes. So, stock your trunk with buckets, shovels, diggers and dump trucks— and maybe a dust buster—because the parks on this list will have your little one getting down and dirty across the Bay.

Cuesta Park, Mountain View

What this sandbox has going for it is its sheer size. This sand pit is massive, yet still manages to have that "contained" sandbox feel. Kids come out in spades at this park, but there's plenty of sand to go around here.
