The neighborhood park local families actually use, several blocks inland from the tourist beach strip, with a recycled-materials playground that suits a toddler's shorter climbing ambitions and enough space for older kids and teens to just be outside without a crowd. It's quiet, genuinely local, and asks nothing specific of any age in the family.
Activiteiten
The one park in the region actually built to split a wide age range rather than just accommodate it. A supervised toy library for the youngest kids, an interactive mini-town for school-age kids, a teen club for the older end, and shared attractions in the middle, the butterfly pavilion and aviary especially, that work at any age and give everyone a reason to regroup. Plan on the family splitting up for stretches of the day rather than moving as one unit, that's not a failure of planning, it's how a park this size actually works for a group spanning toddler to teen.

Eten
A predictable, no-drama chain restaurant that works as the safe fallback when the family spans a toddler through a teenager and nobody wants to negotiate. Highchairs are standard, the menu covers simple kid dishes and more substantial Mexican options for older family members, and the noise level stays low enough that a toddler's outburst doesn't feel disruptive. Not a memorable meal, but a reliable one, useful to have in the back pocket for a day when patience across the group is running thin.
