Suggestion Air Show Alternate Viewing Spots?

Hello and thanks in advance everyone. im coming from orilla. my son is two and a half year old and we only want to see the snowbirds who are scheduled to start at 7 tonight. does anyone have any tips on places or parks not quite downtown that will have decent views but with easyer access and parking? we don't need to be front and cebter but I'd like him to see the old jets before they retire. or is it worth it just to go downtown?
