Planning Notes
💡
The water feature is amazing on warm days — bring a change of clothes. The toddler area is well-separated from the big kid area. Farmers market nearby on Wednesdays and Sundays.
More Planning Notes
•Bring extra clothes for the water feature - kids will get soaked on warm days
•Toddler area is completely separated from school-age climbing structures
•Combine with Heart of the City Farmers Market (Wed/Sun) for snacks and groceries
•Paid parking lots nearby, or take public transit (many Muni lines converge here)
•Beautiful fountain plaza is perfect for running and splashing
•Modern design makes it feel much newer than most SF playgrounds
