Parks with playgrounds and trees?

Moms! I’m looking for some suggestions for parks with good playgrounds with LOTS OF SHADE. We have a park pretty close to our house, but there are no trees and it makes taking the kids to the park a totally not fun experience. Our family lives in the Moreno Valley area. Moms and dads, what parks do you all like best? And ones with shade pretty please!!

How do I stop my kids from being so clingy?

How do I encourage my kids to be creative thinkers?

How can we encourage creativity in kids? What type of things can we have in stock for our kids as child care providers and parents? Kids spend so much time in front of screens nowadays. I feel like it is so important that we encourage and help them to foster creative minds.
