Top pick Parent reviewed

Also known as Mission Dolores Playground or Dolores Park Playground

Excellent, well rounded playground for all kids. Great for parents who need a little break as this park entertains kids itself.

Parking is difficult. If you can't find parking nearby, Park in Dolores Heights and walk the rainbow bridge in for a hit with kids who love rainbows.

Love this park as an adult woman who also happens to have kids. There is always good music, good people watching, and great views. The park is also phenomenal and filled with children. Sometimes it can be quite full, but of course it is! The park has so many various sections for different ages. There are tall slides, and small slides. The only risk is losing sight of your child, only to find them exploring another nook and cranny. If parking wasn’t so hard, this would be my go to in the middle of the city. Go to Birite and grab an ice cream!
