The eye-catching area has painted giant rocks and lava, and you are encouraged to hop from one rock to the next without touching the red areas.

Thankfully there is no need to worry about traffic when playing, as the street is closed to vehicles until October.

So the next time you are in the area, stop here for some free fun.
