Skews a little bit older (better for 3-8) but is sunny, enclosed, and has fabulous views of SF.

Park along the perimeter of the park and enjoy the urban hike. The park is in the middle of buena vista, so parking up the hill will give you a leg up on the hike instead of pushing a stroller up the hill.

The view is beautiful and you get a bonus hike for yourself in Buena vista, but the playground is rather small and skews more for the older ranges (3-7yos). That being said, littles will absolutely have a ball here. Parking ranges from being super easy in the mornings, and also could be difficult if you’re here say- around bay 2 breakers. Also be prepared to push a stroller up some height if you’ve got one.
