Better playground for those in this neighborhood but the street outside is still a bit rough.

A better playground for the kids of the Tenderloin. This area is still rough and slightly challenging to find parking. The rating is 1 for the outside and 3.5 for the interesting playground structure, and also has government workers guarding the entrance to ensure a safe space for kids.  Parents should be aware that you’re across the street from a Gentlement’s nude club, which is not ideal but the city does ensure that there are a lot of free programs (free face painting, balloon figures etc.) for kids at this particular playground to make up for the outside area.
