The track is open to the public when there isn't a game — kids love doing laps on a real track. Bring a soccer ball or football for the fields. The playground is right next to the stadium. Check the schedule for high school games — Friday night football is a fun, free family outing. Koret Playground is a 5-minute walk through the park for a full day out.

Family Reviews
"My kids sprint around the track pretending they're in the Olympics. It's hilarious and they burn off SO much energy. Then we hit the playground next door. Two hours, totally free."

"We went to a high school football game on a Friday night and my kids loved it. Hot dogs, cheering, a real stadium — they thought it was the NFL. Best free family outing."
— SF parent
"The playground next to Kezar is underrated. It's never as packed as Koret but it's right there. We do the track, the playground, then walk to Koret if the kids still have energy."
