Located in San Francisco's SOMA neighborhood sits an unlikely hidden gem of a park. South Park has a sandy play area with swings, things to climb on and a fenced in area for little ones, all in a tree lined historic park. If you have been there in the past there is one recent major change. The large multi-colored climbing structure is no longer there. (Probably a good thing as it was very worn fiberglass.)
Located between 2nd and 3rd streets just south of Bryant, South Park is a welcome quiet spot in the busy city and an oasis of green in SOMA. It's easy to forget you are in the midst of one of the more commercial neighborhoods in San Francisco.
There are several good cafes and full restaurants in the ring of businesses around the park as well as the surprisingly kid friendly 21st Amendment right over on 2nd street. It's a perfect place for dad to feel at home and still get the kids something decent to eat after romping in the park. (Don't miss the weekend only breakfast pizza.)
Hint for dad: Za Za nail salon is just up on 2nd St. As well. A perfect place to give the lady in your life a mani-pedi break while you take the kids to the park. She can also shop at small stores nearby and join you for brunch, lunch or dinner.
The Good Stuff:
It's a really well done small park that is rarely overrun with bigger kids.
There is some shopping nearby.
There is a wide array of good food nearby.
The Bad Stuff:
Sometimes there are a few vagrants in the park but SFPD tends to keep them out.
Butler And Chef located right in the circle has great food but is not the most kid friendly. They actually have a "no stroller policy".
It's in an odd spot if you aren't already in SOMA for another reason.
