Dennis the Menace Playground
Dennis the Menace Playground Review
This play area was designed by the late cartoonist Hank Ketcham. The equipment is on a grand scale and made for Dennis-like daredevils: there's a roller slide, a clanking suspension bridge, and a real Southern Pacific steam locomotive. You can rent a rowboat or a paddleboat for cruising around U-shaped Lake El Estero, populated with an assortment of ducks, mud hens, and geese.
