San Anselmo

Give Tam Junction an actual green — open lawn, big shade trees, a few picnic tables — that a farmers' market or a school concert could spill onto. Right now there is nowhere in Southern Marin between the ballfields and the beach where you can just sit on grass. Make the junction that place.
San Anselmo for a slow morning: breakfast at Comforts, a wander down the antique row on San Anselmo Ave, and let the kids loose in Imagination Park (the dragon sculpture is a hit). Easy, walkable, and ten minutes from the 101 if you are passing through.
Phoenix Lake loop out of Ross is my default "we have two hours and want a real walk but not a sufferfest." Flat-ish, shaded, around the reservoir, dogs and strollers everywhere. Park early at Natalie Coffin Greene — the lot is tiny and fills by 9am on weekends.
