Parent Tips

💡

The library across the street has story time — check their schedule and combine with playground time. Clean restrooms on-site, which is rare and wonderful. The fenced area is great for toddlers. After playing, walk to West Portal Avenue for lunch at Squat & Gobble or grab ice cream. The K/M Muni lines stop right at West Portal station.

"Playground, then library, then lunch on West Portal Ave. That's our Saturday morning loop and it's perfect. The kids never complain and I get my coffee."

"The restrooms here are actually clean. I know that's a weird thing to highlight but if you're a parent, you understand. Game changer for playground trips."

"We moved to West Portal for the family vibe and this playground is the center of it. Fenced, well-maintained, right next to the library. My 3-year-old and 7-year-old are both happy here."
