Sunset Recreation Center
About This Spot
The Sunset's community hub since 1940 — after school programs, basketball, tennis, baseball, dance classes, yoga, and one of the most popular ping pong rooms in the city. Free and low-cost programs for kids of all ages. Indoor gym for rainy days, outdoor courts for sunny ones. The kind of place where neighborhood kids just show up after school.
What to Expect
Parent Tips
Register early for seasonal programs — popular classes fill up fast, especially basketball and dance. The ping pong room is drop-in and free. Indoor gym is a lifesaver on foggy Sunset days. After school drop-in is free for SF residents with registration.

Family Reviews
"My kid goes here every day after school. It's free, supervised, and she comes home tired and happy. Best kept secret in the Sunset."

"The ping pong room is legendary. My 10-year-old is now obsessed and plays every day. He's actually getting good!"
— Sunset parent
"We've done basketball, dance, and art classes here over the years. Everything is affordable or free and the staff genuinely cares about these kids."
