Newly renovated for kids of all ages with some of the best city views in town.

Except on hot days its a great place to play, keep an eye on little ones though. No fence and many places to hide, my husband and I stake out opposite sides so we have an eye on our 4 year old at all times. Its more of a place for the older children but he has a blast and loves it here. Been going to this park since I was 8. It has changed a lot over the years. They have a great view of the city from the hill.

A park with the best view in town. Leaning towards older kids, still has fun for pint sized ones

What one would expect of a large grocery store. Very, very good prices but they need more cashiers.

Very nice playground. It has a variety of slides, swings, climbing areas and other stuff. Kiddos will definitely be able to find a way to pump out some energy. The park is open to public, between now and then people passes around wearing unusual stuff(very seldom stuff could be inappropriate) that catches kids eyes so you might have to answer some why questions. One more thing, marijuana smell fills the surrounding area.

Great city park with huge play area, fields, bathrooms, and view of the SFO skyline. Park was busy with people on a blustery, cold day in January. So probably quite busy on nicer days. Playground is a bit adventure-y. Some more risky climbing and running allowed. Theres a sand area and toddler zone. Swing sets, a couple slides. Nicely laid out. My personal gripe is the boulder rocks spread throughout the area, embedded in the design. I never understand these...all it takes is for a sprinting kid to trip and smash headlong into any number of these boulders. TBI in the making. I get it. Kids need to learn how to navigate their world. These rocks though seem a poor choice of helping them learn. Thankfully, as I observed the area with my kids and all those playing, no one got injured. A few close calls...but thats life isnt it? Definitely a great park for pretty much any park need.

Review №19

A great playground - it doesn’t have much shade and there’s a lot of concrete so it can get really hot. There’s a lot of climbing and fun things for kids to feel adventurous doing with some areas for smaller toddlers as well.

I have been instructed by my 8-year-old son to leave this review. We spent some time here while on vacation because he loves checking out new playgrounds. This playground was, in his words, awesome epic and way cool. Lots of things for young ones to climb and slide on.

If better cleaning would be awesome. But so much trash from the people. With toddler is like who is faster mom or toddler (try to eat and prevent from eating trash)

Review №24

Beautiful view of city hall. There are two playground areas which are fenced and monitored by staff making sure all the adults there have children. Great climbing structures and plenty of room to run. There is a cafe right next to one of the play areas.

Review №25

I love being able to sit on the hill and let my kid play and see her from wherever she is. I even chase her around and go up the climbing wall under the spider net. Its a great set up. Lots of structures for all ages.

Review №27

Its a wonderful place for both children and adults. In many ways its better than the old playground that was there but I definitely preferred when they had actual sand for the kids.

Review №30

Pretty fun for kids but getting kind of beat up already two of the swings were broken and the artificial turf is full of tacky repairs all over the place.... there is still a little potential danger here which is a lot of fun for adventurous older children

Plenty of room to lay a blanket, picnic tables if you prefer, cafe across the street and on the corner. And of course cool slides, swings and other big toys for kids and adults!

Newly renovated playground in one of the best public gathering spots in San Francisco- especially after park and rec did such a great job fixing the drainage issues. And who doesnt love a patron who supports a playground and a funnyfarm? -check UCSF mental health facility Parnassus campus- just sayin

Great place for children with supervision, its super crowded for weekends because of the Dolores crowd, but looks like a really fun social time for kids and adults.

Review №52

Big slides, fun cargo net to climb, and a bridge to access it all from. Many vantage points to view your kids from. Biggest complaint is the angle of some parts are very vertically challenging for children causing them to fall.

Review №53

Review №58

If this playground were in a hermetically sealed bubble, it would be the best playground ever. In the real world though, specifically on weekends, its notable for taking time off my kids life because of the poor air quality due to people feeding their nicotine and weed habits through smoking. Why cant people just eat brownies instead? During the week, though, its outstanding. Averages out to a 3

Review №67

This is probably the most awesome playground we have ever visited. Brand new, the playground is built into the topology of the park - not just some structures on top of it. Our son loved running up the rubber covered hills to get to the slides. Apparently packed on weekends, it was perfect on a Wednesday afternoon. Golden Gates playground is cool, this is awesome.

One of the best parks in SF. Sure a bit dirty in spots but great over all. Great amount of mixed use space (courts, fields, dogs off leash and kids areas, hill) packed all in there, and near public transport.

Review №76

This is one big playground for us, the slides are the spotlight of this playground, since they are either wide or long slides. This is also usually crowded so keep that in mind. There is also a baby area right behind the wide slide, if you have babies, otherwise this is a great playground

This playground is very modern, clean, and awesome! It has a rock climbing wall, tall metal slides, the ground is squishy and made of rubber (great for kids)! Great views of the city as you swing. The J Muni stops at the top and bottom of the hill. Expect to find a lot of people around on the weekends, including shirtless guys, smokers, and plenty of dogs.

Nice playground in Dolores park with slides, climbing structures, swings, etc. on a sunny day however can be overrun with running kids of all ages. Not good for smaller children under 3 on a busy day and is exposed to whatever can be happening at the park.
