Mountain Lake Park
About This Spot
A beautiful park in the Richmond District with a playground, lake with turtles and ducks, and a sand play area. Less crowded than Golden Gate Park playgrounds and great for nature-loving families.
What to Expect
Parent Tips
Bring bread for the ducks (just kidding — bring peas, bread is bad for them). The playground was recently updated. Nice paved path around the lake for strollers.
