Dog walkingfenced dog run, western edge of Parc Central along Carrer de Filipines

Kids playingwater channels and stepped pools by the Casa del Reloj, Parc Central
In summer the kids end up in the shallow water channels around the Casa del Reloj in swimsuits, and the parents just accept it and sit along the stone edge. It's the closest thing to a paddling pool in this half of the city.

Kids playingmain children's play area, Parc Central
Parents with toddlers pick this over the Turia riverbed specifically because the whole park is fenced and gated — a kid who runs off can't get far. Weekend mornings the benches around the play area are fully taken by about eleven.
