Planning Notes

💡

Go early on weekends — it gets packed by 11am. The toddler area is fenced which is a lifesaver. Grab a paleta from the street vendors.

More Planning Notes

•Arrive by 10 AM on weekends to get parking and avoid crowds
•The fenced toddler area is perfect for containing little ones
•Bring cash for paleta vendors (they're usually outside the playground)
•Combine with nearby Bi-Rite Creamery, Tartine, or Mission District food scene
•Great spot for birthday parties - just bring your own supplies
•The playground gets full sun, so bring hats and sunscreen
