Planning Notes

💡

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.
