Hi all, will be checking out the City for the first time with a 4 and 7 year old next week! Any kid-friendly, more slabby routes I should consider? If no 'official' routes are decent, does any area have a good variety of slabby boulders to have them play on? My kids are not stellar climbers yet. Yet, I say!
Thanks for the help!

This and it's neighbor: mountainproject.com/v/good-… Although the bottom is probably too reachy for the shorter ones.
Radicella rock. See Bingham's book. Funny, I entered them in here last year and now they are gone. Ranger Brad Schilling told me the City doesn't have the funds to allow anchors in this spot as I asked to put a set in. I'd recommend just leading them vs setting up a tope rope. It'll be much easier. And the anchors do "take some imagination", but they are bomber. These 3 routes are quite fantastic for the grade.
My kids always insist we do the rebar ladder on Bath Rock. You might consider short roping the 4 year old for it as it's exposed for a bit. Also there are 2-3 shorter EZ routes in the same bowl that you can either lead or easily set up a TR.
