5 for the playground, 3 for not having a near by bathroom. This awesome, newly renovated playground is the “Tunnel Tops” equivalent of the southwest SF quadrant. Definitely worth traveling for, but also filled with locals from relatively nearby neighborhoods. We accidentally bumped into two neighbors down the street of us. Parking can be a little intimidating since Sloat is a large, fast, street but just stay alert and you’re fine. If you’re coming from another neighborhood, the West Portal main street is worth the stop for further exploration - start with the book shop!
