Even with this ongoing pandemic, parents kept their distance, supervising while children played - freely. It keeps the kids happy and healthy. ️
Great playground across the street from the Ferry Building - use the restroom at the FB since there is not one at this park. Several different climbing/play structures and some swings within a fenced area. There are lovely open grassy spaces adjacent.
Quiet and peaceful. Except if or the parrotts. They love to squak constantly. If you cut up a RED apple. You can possibly coax the birds down from the trees and have them eat from your hands.
A small park along the Emarcadero. It is great in the evenings when the Parakeets come home to the trees around the park. While the park is green through the year, the main street is filled with cars and is noisy all the time. Go here if you want to walk your dog but thix wouldnt my preferred park if I wanted a quiet place to unwind.
Nice little park near Embarcadero, you can enjoy the view of Ferry building. There is play area for kids. Great place for picnic or just relax.
Great park near the water. Easy to get to from BART, right downtown and easy parking (during COVID anyway).
Very nice place to walk near the water front of embarcadero
Nice little park with a play area for kids. Gated play area is nice for added sense of security. Annoyingly, only a self-cleaning bathroom in the park as as usual, the cleaning part of that equation is about 0. Better facilities across the street in the pier buildings. Kids enjoyed the playground which includes a small climbing wall which is fun. Nice benches for parents to sit. If youre down this way with kids, not a bad pit stop to run off some energy.
Nice grass and a good location.
Its an open area with lush grass where people relax & enjoy the calm atmosphere. Its right across the street from the clock tower where there are shops & tourists eating skateboarding biking & other activities that go on till about 8:30pm.. I work in this area as a Dasher delivering hot & cold meal during the day
Visiting the San Francisco area and my kids (6 & 7) love parks. This is a very small park BUT it has so much to do in a small area. Great places to play for all ages. It got 4 stars because when I left the park and it was starting to get dark... I wanted my kids right next to me.
Quiet park in the middle of a busy city!
Good amount of grass downtown. Lots of transients. Frequently muddy.
Great place for kid fun. Lots of size options from toddler to big kid
One of my favorite places in San Francisco. A nice park where I can go to juggle right next to the ferry building, embarcadero center and the fountain. It has a playground for children, a walking path through GRASS and a public restroom. Over all a very pleasant place!
Cool park. Not to crowded. Great place to people watch.
Favorite place to visit
This is a gem of a park in the middle of the financial district. It has play areas for big kids and toddlers, including 2 swings and a see-saw. Its surrounded by a lovely grass area and is fenced in so the kids are safe to run around and not risk getting into the heavy traffic of The Embarcadero nearby. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting or shopping in the area with antsy kids who need a break to play safely in an otherwise crowded part of SF
I like the park. It has many perspectives. It used to have a much more varies botanical exhibits, but the Parks Dept arent upgrading seasonally in the same way. I say, lets have more flowers and variegation.
Close to ferry building, nearby sidewalk, good place to stroll around. Nice play park with slides and swings and place to climb.
Good store
Parrots hang out here sometimes.
Kids loved the playground here and across from ferry building.
Loved spending time at this park with my one and a half year old. One can easily spend 2 to 3 hours here. The play structures are surrounded by lovely green grass where you can have a nice picnic. The Pier is very close by so you can walk along the water which is a plus. The place structures themselves are designed for older kids as well as a separate structure for younger ones. The little ones play structure is very safe and quite interesting. Overall a great experience.
Would be such an awesome place if there werent so many homeless people living in and around the park. I wish they had a safe place to call home.
This is a great park! Lots of space. I went here for the peace March and several different talks before hand. There were porta potties here and it was very clean.
Nice little patch of grass in the embarcadero. Just sit a enjoy the sunshine!
The kids playground is gated with a half-size fence to keep the kids in, and it actually offers a small push lock on the opposite side that and adults can easily reach. View of the ferries coming in as well. The only down side is the scalding lack of shade and it gets pretty hot standing in direct su light in the summer time. This probably isnt much of a issue for the rest of the year though so I didnt feel like it should lose any stars over it.
Great park! Lots of different play options for kids of differing ages.
Famous San Francisco landmark born and raised.
Open space in a crowded city is always nice. Some dun, some air, some greens. A good change from pavements and people rushing by.
Nice and clean. Great for toddlers with spectacular view.
Small park but clean. Its close to the ferry building marketplace, so if you walked a lot there, you can come and take a break in the park while enjoying the beautiful views. Some homeless people were sleeping there which made me a bit uncomfortable, but in general, it is a good place. There is a small playground here so bring your kids and they will enjoy it.
Nice place to sit, read, people watch, explore. There is a Maritime Museum in the park...you can also take a quick swim or sit on the beach and watch the swim club out there. Plenty of restaurants in the area and plenty of vendors selling a variety of items. You can also take the cable cars from this location as well.
An oasis of fresh breeze
Really fun play equipment for the kids and huge open spaces. The grass was really too wet to even walk on, borderline muddy. Im not sure if its always like that or was being overwatered or what. It hadnt rained in several days when we went. If the grass is always like that its not functional, just ornamental.
A large open urinal masquerading as a park
Lovely place for a toddler! Love that it has options for younger and older kids with a nice grassy area outside the park. Also appreciated being across the street from bathrooms and food!
Wonderful large & quiet park in the Embacadero Ferry Building and next to Hyatt Regency.You can see & hear the wild parrots early morning or late afternoon munching on flowering trees
Another one of many beautiful open spaces in the city. A great place to picnic or bring the kiddos to enjoy the playground.
Beautiful park location is great and safe at the foot of the embarcadero beautiful fountains 2
A great place to walk your dog near the Embarcadero.
The park is well kept by the city. Lots of activities all year. Free concerts, ice skating, sports viewings, and many other things.
Beautiful outdoor space, nicely maintained in the middle of the city.A great place to getaway from the traffic noise, have a picnic, take a walk and let the children play.
2019 Womens world cup showing in a big screen. It was great
Nice park with a lovely view of the embarcadero and the water front. There used to be parrots in the trees and I was sad when I didnt here them last time I went to this park.
Grassy urban park has nice open space and a fenced off playground with two separate sections of climbing structures and swing sets for youve children and older children. The park is between the waterfront and downtown, so views are beautiful. On one side of the park homeless people may be camped out or sleeping.
Have a look at the fountain if you happen to walk through the park. It is located opposite the ferry building near the embarcadero Bart station.
Nice park... Good for walk
Its a nice place to relax and clear your head.
If you are gay and into crusing the public toilet there, then this is your spot. however, if you are not into that then be cautious as a lot of transients frequent this park and occassionalmy have tents posted in the shrubbery. BE CAREFUL AT NIGHT!
A nice green space along the Embarcadero. Kept fairly clean. Some homeless people inhabit the park overnight. Childrens playground is new, modern, safe and usually has several kids playing there. Nice place to let the kids play as a break from sightseeing on there parents agenda.
A good small park off the Embarcadero that provides the kids some enjoyment to run around.
Nice place to sit and relax during a walk
Nice park but no shade on sunny days in the playground area.
Fun playground for the kids.
Theres a small playground for the kids here and lots of green grass space for a picnic. On over cast days it can get pretty chilly. What fun to watch here is the tree full of green parrots. Theyre very vocal and you see the flying around in a dance like formation.
Not Family Friendly, Open Drug Use.. Just a Bad area
Play structure is nice, and secure fence is great. But, parking is usually terrible, and there are a lot of random people gathered around looking in...a bit creepy at times
Nice spot to let the kids burn some energy before going to the Exploratorium.
Great place to spend time with our children.
Nice
Its a nice little park however its littered with needles... the place across (formerly known as Justin Herman plaza) is better because of a public bathroom and a playground! Theres also a bathroom walking down the water installation....
Great park. Love the jungle gym, and I like the spinning red bucket and the tall slide. It is low in quantity but great in quality, so it might be small but it’s an amazing park.
Nice park and grass fields.public bathrooms too
Cute playground with separate structures for younger and older kids, along with swings. Great for my 16mo old.
Clean is safe, secured, clean. Has play structures for all ages, adults too! If youre traveling with kids its a great spot to stop.
Therere quite a number of homeless in the tiny park.
Nice
Lots of homeless people sleeping there. Not worth the trouble.
A quick stop from a busy day of eating oysters in the ferry building across the street. Good amount of open grass surrounds this for picnics in the warm winter months.
The wide open spaces of this park make it a great location for just about anything. You can partially see the bridge and steps away from the piers. I cant wait to return.
Great for younger children. The play area has cushioned or rubberized ground covering that is spongy to walk on. Plenty of activities for the kids to get some exercise. I do wish there was some seating areas for the adults close by.
Very good place for children
Really Nice Location
Good play park for kids
A simple park across the street from the Ferry Building and its concrete plaza. Theres not much to do other than sit on one of the many benches and take in the sounds of the Embarcadero. if youre there around dusk, check out the parrot infestation on the west side of the park. Theyre usually cackling a few hours before sunset. Its worth a look and listen.
Nice place for children to play.
Pretty spot, but lots of bums hang out here. Once, though, I saw a huge flock of green parrots!
Nice place to burn some energy
Good for walking and sun.
Nice little park
Very beautiful in the night with all the lights, water and away from the city hustle.
Filthy !!!Leaves are everywhere !!!!It looked like a Cyclone went through it !!!It had a rough day !!!Branches fell off the trees !!!Mother nature wasnt playing today !!
Great place to watch the World Cup... grass is well maintained and great place for a sunny day
