This cool, SFO and airplane themed playground is a great option for kids who are obsessed with airplanes or rockets. The reason for the rating is because it is fairly limited to the age of 2-4 and most importantly, not really enclosed along two very fast roads full of cars. To be fair, it is sunken so there is a structural barrier, but you do have to be a bit on your toes for toddlers who want to run.  The grounds are primarily used by pickle ballers.

Best for younger kids or kids who are not prone to running away. The airport and plane theme is cool and park in good condition. The playground is between two heavy trafficked roads, but it is partially buffered. Hard to find parking on the street. Good spot for locals, despite what Victoria says!
