Family activities for preschool children in Albany, CA
Families of the San Francisco Bay Area are fortunate to have lots of choices when it comes to fun, educational activities for preschool children. The gorgeous natural setting of the Bay Area offers preschool children a diverse landscape to see and explore.

Opal Staniek Tot Lot
Talbot Ave & Dartmouth St., Albany / Mini Park (.07 acres)
“The Opal Staniek Tot Lot is a mini park designed for tots. The park is enclosed by a fence and has a play structure, picnic table and fun recycling wall. The current site of the Staniek Tot Lot was once a home that belonged to Opal Staniek. Opal loved children and left her property to the City of Albany to establish a mini park for the neighborhood children. Although the City now calls the park the Dartmouth Tot Lot, its original name was Staniek Tot Lot, after Opal. There was a plaque at the corner that was removed at the request of the family. In honor of her dedication to our community, residents in this neighborhood continue to call the tot lot Opal’s Park.”
