Set in the pleasant Pacific Heights neighborhood sits the large and somewhat underused historic Lafayette Park. A bit of a hike up the hill but very rewarding for a range of age groups.
The playground equipment is well maintained and interesting enough to keep kids engaged. It is also fenced in with a short chain link enclosure that will keep those who might otherwise stray safely in the play area.
A bonus is a second area that is a fenced in grassy space perfect for those too young for the sand and climbing friendly playground area. There are nice restrooms(for a park), ample space for a picnic and both shade and sun. Dogs are not allowed in the play spaces helping them remain clean and relatively safe for children who are not walking or still falling down a lot.
It's one of our favorites.
The Good Stuff:
Large, safe, clean play and picnic areas next to restroom facilities.
Located near great places to eat just down the hill in the Filmore.
Easily accessible from the 1 and 12 bus routes.
Great view in a beautiful neighborhood.
The Bad Stuff:
Located at the top of a hill and a little rough, not bad, with a stroller. Kids big enough to walk on their own will have no trouble at all.
