Sunny Fields Playground

This is the coooolesssst playground on this planet! I just happened to see this place while driving into Solvang and stopped by. I felt like a big kid in some sort of story tale land. I rode on the tire swings and the spring horsey I had so much fun ahaha. I really wish more playgrounds were like this.

Whyyyyyy don’t they have more parks like this?!?
So my parents, husband, toddler, and I were in Solvang for the weekend. After a yummy brunch at Paula’s, I wanted to let the little one burn some energy from being cooped up in the van for 4+ hours., I had done some research ahead of time (thank you Unilocal!) and stumbled upon Sunny Fields Playground. I decided we needed to make a stop. The WHOLE way, my parents were grumbling about wasting vacation time at a playground – shouldn’t we go to the zoo, or some other big activity instead? – that is, until we arrived.
I swear, my son acted like he was at Disneyland. For a 2 year old, he covered the entire park pretty quickly. He ran up al the steps, went on each of the slides, ran up to the towers, etc. He had SO much fun. And of course the grandparents enjoyed watching him have fun – they even spent some time on the swings! I loved that they had a separate toddler area so in case there had been a lot of kids, he could’ve hidden on that side of the park and still play pretty independently – but he also got lucky and there was almost no one there for the first hour we were there. We ended up staying for about an hour and a half all together, and we had to PRY him away from the park. Definitely awesome!

Such a great spot to lets the kids run wild. Love the sponsor tile tower out front and painted animals imbedded into concrete.

AMAZING playground. We were in Solvang over a weekend with our dog and kids and we needed a place to take our dog. We found this park listed in some of the Solvang tourist guides, and we loved it. It has a large flat grassy area, dog poop bags, lots of parking, BBQ grill and shade for parties, restrooms, but the best feature was the playground, very big, with lots of features, quite new and just fabulous! Many cities, much larger than Solvang just do not have something like this.

I wish there was a playground like this where I live!!! We were in Solvang on a rainy weekend (lucky us lol) so there was no one at the park. It had stopped raining when we got there so we had the whole park to ourselves and got to take so many amazing photos of our daughter: D the playground is so cute! If I lived close I would come here every weekend!

Yay! A playground with a huge play set, including swings, slides, rockers, climbing and more.

Great place to take your kids to burn off some energy if you are visiting Solvang.

This is definitely one of my favorite playgrounds I have ever been to! You can tell they got crafty with the playground with the different installations and still managed to fuse a kid-​like vibe. The tires, gingerbread houses, swings and slides all are set to bring your child (ren) the gnarliest day… Guaranteed and free!
Even though we’re clearly adults, we had a blast… Best part was that there was nobody there! We went on a Saturday afternoon and brought our dog where she roamed freely and wildly! ;)
Overall, it’s a castle playground filled with fun, picnic tables and bbq grills. What’s not to love?! Enjoy, have a picnic or two, bring a loved one on a date, and your kids!

Wow! Great park. My kids played here for hours in this spotless well cared for treasure. Lots of shade, bbqs, sprawling grass.

Awesome find on the road. Super cute playground and super clean picnic tables. And super clean bathrooms. Wish there are more parks, or even just one park like this near home.

We went here on a whim one day looking for something new to do and I was amazed at the quality of this park and just how different it was! It’s all made out of wood, painted in bright colors and made to look like a castle from the outside. Another great plus is there is a «tot lot» for the youngins and lots of areas for pretend play. Such a great place to play!

An awesome stopping place while eating a picnic lunch! My kids loved the cute playground equipment. Lots of picnic tables and a huge green field to play other games on. This was a great addition to our day trip to solvang!

Awesome play ground. Best one I think we’ve ever been to. My boyfriend and kids ages 5&9 enjoyed everything about this place. Hide and seek was so much fun! Beautiful scenery, big picnic area. We’re from out of town and would love to come back one day!

Beautiful whimsical playground set with an awesome backdrop of rolling green hills. My kids 4 and 2 had a blast. We hit the park after visiting Quicksilver ranch and the mini horses. The road is very picturesque and would advise checking out Los Olivos at the end of the road for a quaint look back in time just with lots more wine tasting. Also a good tip is to get a lunch spread from nearby (1.5 miles east on Mission) at El Rancho Market and eat at the park. Bring also plenty sunblock and hats. The park could be more shaded so sun can be strong. Even in winter time.

By far the nicest playground I’ve ever seen. Hours of fun for kids 1 to 99. We love to bring our kids here whenever we are in Solvang. Nice shade and seating areas for parents. Castles, towers, ginger bread houses, misters to keep you cool. This park is definitely top of the line. A little far off the beaten path so it’s never too busy.

Love this playground! Great for all ages, even adults. Clean, creative, and beautiful.

What a clean and innovative park! Great place for kids and barbecue. The playground is so creative… why didn’t they have this when I was a kid?! They also have a legit wheels n spindle-​like old-​school bbq.

Cute castle themed playground for the little ones. Most of the structures are wooden and in pretty good shape. There is a nice area for picnicking.

Why can’t my park have a Santa Maria style barbecue, castles galore for the kids, beautiful fields, no garbage anywhere and nice clean bathrooms. In short this is the best family parks in the entire country.
I really wish I lived here.

Great little park for any age. Huge soccer field that big enough to play some serious frisbee golf or froth. If you want to walk around the track you can go the long way or shorter distance with makers to gauge how far you have gone. Bathrooms are clean and well kept.
