About This Spot
A hidden oasis right near the Embarcadero with a nature-inspired playground surrounded by trees. The playground has a wooden ship structure, slides, and swings — and it's steps from the Ferry Building. One of the best spots to combine a playground visit with a waterfront walk.

Parent Tips
💡
Walk here from the Ferry Building — grab pastries at Acme Bread first. The park has a wild parrot colony (green parrots!) that the kids will love spotting in the trees. Shaded on foggy days.
