About this spot
A compact downtown playground and lawn across from the Ferry Building. The play area reopened with a new structure and safety surface in 2023, making it an easy stop before or after an Embarcadero walk.

Planning notes
💡
Use it as part of a waterfront outing rather than a destination that has to fill the whole day. The Ferry Building is close for food and bathrooms, and the Embarcadero gives you a flat stroller route when kids are ready to move on.
The playground is across from the Ferry Building near Washington and Drumm streets
SF Rec & Park lists an accessible children's play area and restrooms
The damaged boat structure was replaced and the playground reopened in April 2023
Street parking is limited; transit or a waterfront walk is usually easier
Pair it with the Ferry Building, Embarcadero, or a short visit to the Exploratorium
