Richmond Playground
About This Spot
Freshly renovated in 2024 as part of Let's Play SF! — sand-floor playground with a climbable bear sculpture, tennis courts, basketball, pickleball, and a large sport court. The rec center has after-school programs and classes. Picnic area for birthday parties. One of the Richmond's best all-around family parks, now with modern play equipment and accessibility upgrades.
What to Expect
Parent Tips
The bear sculpture is the main attraction — kids climb all over it. Sand floor means bring extra socks. Tennis and pickleball courts are first-come, first-served. The rec center has bathrooms and runs after-school programs (register through SF Rec & Park). Picnic tables make it easy for birthday parties.
