The playground is huge, but could be even more populated with activities for kiddos. The nature-themed playground didn’t have the density of structures that other huge playgrounds have, so we’ve ranked it a 3. Overall, you can lump a lot of things into this experience that would make it a 4: a trolley that runs up and down the elevated street, views of Alcatrez, urban hiking potential, and my personal favorite - a pretty steep and long staircase that allows you to birds-eye-view your kids running around while you get in a solid cardio workout. Just up and down, twice, is a daily workout.
