What a fantastic park for the little ones, located at the back of Pacifica. Since it's more in the valley, it's shielded a bit from the sea winds and the weather is quite nice. The play structure is massive and definitely caters to the little ones' imaginations as you can pretend you're in a castle, complete with turrets. They also have a sandbox, playhouses, and swings, so you are sure to find something for all the kids to enjoy. They also have picnic tables and a giant grassy area where you can run around, hold birthday parties, or just sit to have lunch. A couple of bathrooms are located on site, and they are relatively clean, although they do not provide soap or sanitizer. read more

Great park. There are lots of trees. There are trails. There is a playground with baby swings and a cool train structure. There is a tire swing! There is a walk climbing wall and a few slides as well as 2 sets of monkey bars and bridges. It is a nice big park and a great place to have a bbq or a picnic. It would also be a great place for events or birthday parties as well. I love it! read more

This park is a gem of Pacifica. The playground is a decent size and they have a section for little kids as well as big kids. There are several picnic tables as well as a rentable area with ~15 tables and a BBQ pit. We reserved it for my daughter's first birthday last year and it was great. The grassy field is huge and there is always space for people, even on busy days. It's the back of the valley, so the sun is usually shining (which is a treat in foggy P-town). The only downside is that there isn't a lot of parking during busy days. You'll likely have to park in the neighborhood down the way and walk, which isn't a huge deal just more of a heads up. read more

OMG. Frontierland is a blast from the past. When we lived in Daly City when I was 1-7 yrs old, we came here often as kids. My sis (3 years my junior) and I are in my momma's photo album with photos from here when we were younguns at the real Frontierland. Frontierland was a park and a paid place. This is the park with the same name. Iam not sure of it's relation to Frontierland from the 70s. Fun times and memories. I actually do not remember much other than the old frontier look of the place. Iam glad it is still alive and well in Pacifica, as a park at least with the playground equipment looking in the same frontier-style. Too bad I never took my teen here when she was a youngun. A must for yer younguns! Lol. read more

Lots of parking good place for your kids to meet other kids and play with. Not to grab it.

A little difficult to find, but once you do, its awesome! Lots of open space and grassy fields for the kids to play! Parking can be challenging. On major holidays, arrive early! I loved the outdoor gym! read more

A lovely part off the beaten path, beautiful on a sunny day. Somewhat hidden, which is a good thing.

Frontierland Park is a hidden gem. Seriously, it's hidden in the hills. Great neighborhood park with a good vibe. Large entertaining play structure and huge field to run around. A neighborhood park with two restroom area. My bladder is tiny so restroom is a must. Well maintained park with plenty of parking. There is a bbq section with tables. Reservation required. This is a great neighborhood park that welcomes everyone who comes here. Worth checking out if your in the area. read more

I live down the hill from this park and the kids LOVE IT! I've hosted many birthdays and family reunions at this park. It's massive field and gigantic park makes for so much fun. Equipped with BBQ grills, sinks, clean restrooms, trails, basketball court, and more. We spend hours here! Sometimes we see the deer frolicking through the field and hear the coyotes howling into the evening. I have so much fun here makes me feel like a kid again! read more

The play structures look amazing and it can be used for a wide range of children's ages. But it does look bigger than it actually is. I expected more play structures at the back. Like my 7 year old said, "It's not that big." It's a great spot to take children but perhaps it's more impressive to younger ages. read more

A great park for any day, but especially for a party/picnic. While you can reserve tables and grill for a party, if you get here early enough you can also just grab one of the no reservations needed tables and grill. My family and I brought our own extra table too. This park has a large playground for all ages and a large field for running around, flying a kite, kicking a ball around, etc. There's also plenty of parking. The group at the party we had here were from age 2 and up and we all had something in the park to enjoy. The bathrooms could use some work though. read more

Beautiful park. Fun playground for the kids. The park is clean, including the restrooms.

Pretty great space for kids to play and run around. The playground only has one way in and out so it helps out the parents in trying to keep everyone contained to one area and watch only one exit. One side of the structure is for like 5 and older and the other side is for up to 5 so it makes it nice for all ages. Can be a little foggy since it is right against the mountain in Pacifica but being a jacket and you'll be good to go! read more

I've been her a few times to bbq & each time the weather was so beautiful! It was foggy & overcast in SF & even while passing Sea Bowl, but once you pull into the parking lot to Frontierland, everything clears up & the sun shines! My friend figured out that it seems sunken in & is surrounded by hills, so the fog passes right over it & the sun shines right in. The big area that you can rent out has 2 big (i mean big!) grills, lots & lots of counter space (with a sink), & plenty of tables. There are also many little grills and tables around the big grass field. The playground is big! It has a mister (imagine standing in line on a hot day at Universal Studios & they mist water at you), a big play structure to run around, a section for small kids with a comfortable red chair/swing that adults can sit in & hold a child in their lap. There's 1 basketball hoop & 2 different locations of bathrooms to use. This area is very clean & the garbage is emptied out everyday. When going here, map it out because it's really hidden. You'll most likely have problems getting cell phone reception. But when you think you've passed it or took a wrong turn, keep going! You're not there yet! It's passed Terra Nova High School. read more

Came here yesterday for my friend's son's sixth birthday part. The main picnic area is huge and comes two bbq pits, a huge prep area and sink. The park itself is quaint and great place for families that want to avoid that major parks where everyone in the neighborhood goes to. The community built playground is practically a mirror image of the First Street Park in Benicia. And there are two bathrooms, which is pretty good for a park that size. Enough parking, per say. It may have been cold, with dashes of drizzles and lack, there of, of sun; but I liked this park in the hills. Totally made the drive over worthwhile. read more

What? Where have you been all my life? Apparently trapped in the depths of Pacifica. Thank you Pacifica for making an amazing Mecca for kids to play. Ok I know the elite are yelling this place but let me tell you. I found it first. Well not first but years ago. My kids and I used to come here to escape the craziness of SF. And that idea is still a good one. If you are looking for a nice plot of grass with a few well placed trees and an incredible play structure then this is it. Ok? read more

Great little park in the back of the valley. Room to run. Excellent playground. Tables and BBQs enough for most parties. A bathroom that is kept up fairly well . read more

Frontierland Park is a great hidden gem in Pacifica! The dirt parking is not perfect, but there is so much more to this place than parking: the park is clean, well-maintained, and free from overcrowding. I was here with my family on a Saturday morning for almost two hours, and there was so much space to use and explore. Friendship playground is the kids' jungle gym area, and it's very clean. The only thing you have to watch out for is splinters because the structures are mostly wood. There is a large roundish field for running around on, and the grass is actually nice for rolling around, cartwheels, etc. There is a slope at one end -- fun for running down! That's where the tree and shade are. There are also plenty of stone picnic tables around. If I were to host an outing for, say, a moms' group and tots, I'd try to have it at this park away from the urban messes and masses. After you're done in the park, you can drive back down to Highway 1 and take your kiddo to the beach for a quick jaunt. And there are lots of small diners and places to grab some food. All in all, this little trip to Pacifica was great. read more

Very nice park. Had a lot of fun here with my girl. The grass is nice and the animals around are awesome!

Great park, well maintained play structure, lots of picnic tables and open grass area as well.

This park is my new favorite! Lots of space here, including bbq pits, grass land, and play structure. Come early as the parking area gets full. read more

Fort meets playground meets maze meets wood chips . . . plus a giant grassy field, surrounding picnic tables/bbq and even bathrooms. This is a hidden but relatively well-known gem of Pacifica - often warmer and less windy than other locales nearby because it's more inland. Totally worth the extra drive. There's a toddler area and a big kid area, which does help prevent the lil ones from being bulldozed by a rambunctious game of "aliens and techies," which is apparently this century's version of cops and robbers. (No joke, I totally overheard these kids organizing this game, couldn't exactly follow it and not sure which are the bad guys, but pretty funny nonetheless.) So whether you're an alien or techie, this is a pretty good place to get the wiggles out and generally run amok. And for the record, I'm probably an alien. read more

Our group of 20 (mostly thirtysomethings with a bunch of young kids in tow) was looking to beat the Peninsula heat this weekend when a knowledgeable friend suggested Frontierland Park in Pacifica. It fit the bill perfectly. The park is somewhat hidden on a suburban Pacifica hillside, but it turns out to be one of those little-known Bay Area gems. Most notably, it sports a massive sloping lawn, well-kept amenities and literally the nicest playground I've seen in the Bay Area. This past Sunday, it also sported 75 degree weather and no crowds while the Peninsula was more like 105 and unhappy. Downsides? Only two I could come up with: (a) the dirt track around the field and in the BBQ areas left us very dusty and (b) while gorgeous and inspiring for the kids, the playground was actually so tall and maze-like that I found it nigh impossible to watch two pre-schoolers at the same time. Overall, a great find and one I'll certainly revisit during a future heatwave. read more

We finally found it! As it is hidden into the depths of Pacifica. It definitely is a well hidden gem though. Most of the picnic spots are small, with one table per BBQ pit. Although there is one huge picnic spot with a number of tables, downside not one of those tables is covered. Basketball "court", it only has one hoop, is off on the far end of the park. The parking lot is not paved. But the thing we went out there for, was the playground. Very nicely done and it gives off the feel of a frontier, meaning very fort like. There's 2 areas, divided by age and gated off. read more

You know the saying, "Bigger isn't always better"? Well, that definitely goes to this park. It isn't the biggest park I've seen, but it definitely packs a punch. A big group of my friends (17 of us) decided to do an olympic day kind of festivity here on a random day. We didn't reserve a spot or anything. We just showed up and brawled It was clean and there was a large enough open space to play around. The kid's area was fun too. We all had fun there (a bunch of old people waaaaaay past 5 and 6) once it was empty. I Love this place. definitely a diamond in the hilly P-town. read more

Awesome views of the mountains, good playground for kids, clean restrooms, plenty of parking.

This place is huge! There is an enclosed play area and swings, a castle, slides and other things for kids of all ages to play on. A very very large grass area with picnic areas all around. We came here for a birthday party and it was incredibly hot so we were a bit unprepared for that. Otherwise, it was a good time. read more

Four first come, first serve bbq grills and tables. Five picnic tables scattered around the lawn. One large reserved picnic area with grills and a sink. Decent restrooms; bring soap. Big kid playground is built like a fort with narrow/challenging structures. It's intended for giant kids bc the distance from the bottom of the slide to ground is bizarrely high and I'm 5'5"! read more

Frontierland Park - Parks Near Me - Pacifica, California

This park is hidden in the mountains of Pacifica. It's a beautiful park. The playground was huge. It can get busy every weekend but there's enough parking. It's nice to chill around the grass area. We attended a children's party here today and the weather was wonderful. Having a basketball court is a plus because my son loves playing bball. Many picnic tables are available. I think it's first come first serve. There's a small hiking trail behind the park. The park was clean and also their bathrooms. If you're not tired after playing in the park. There's a bowling alley close by. The beach is also close by. read more

No question this is a true gem in Pacifica. The park is more geared towards younger kids and families, but anyone can walk around and check out this beautiful park. It's up a hill and parking can be tough and disorganized at times on weekends and summer time. There is a small basketball court and a wide lawn/grass area. read more

Fabulous park, for some reason driving through here there is fog but once we get here the fog is never here! Hmmmmm.. anyway it's a beautiful park. Must see! read more

Really nice park with a backdrop of the mountains and vast grass land. There are some shady areas which is perfect on a hot day. Parking - It's not paved but gravel with plenty of spots Bathroom facilities - I think I saw one but I did not go in They have a 2-3 year tot lot and a 3 to 5 year old playing area that is divided. It's in the obscure part of Pacifica and not directly off the freeway. read more

This park has everything- playground, picnic tables, bbq pits, large lawn area and picturesque landscape.

I am giving this park a three-star rating only because it's not my cup of tea. It's a great park in that it's clean, well maintained and it seems really safe. But in my experience, it's too big. They have two separate areas - one for smaller kids and one for bigger kids. The problem is, my son is too small for the bigger kid side and gets bored on the one geared for the kids his age. Every time I have brought him to Frontierland, he gets stuck on the play structure or falls through the rope ladder thing. I can't keep an eye on him because it's so big. There have been several times that I needed to go up the play structure to bring him down and I couldn't get to him - because it was built to keep the big people off with really narrow passageways from one level to another or leading to the slides. I understand why it was done this way, and it makes sense. Maybe when my son is bigger and more able to handle the bigger side of the playground I will give it a higher rating. But at his age, I really need to keep an eye on him for his own safety and my own peace of mind. So we will just go to the smaller playgrounds in the area. read more

What an awesome playground. It is full of obstacles and activities, slides, steps, and fun for all ages. I couldn't even resist running around and playing on the playground with my kids - we all enjoyed it. I loved that it was wood and in a beautiful setting. There is also a large grassy area and plenty room for picnics. The weather was nicer in this area than others. It was warmer and had more sun. It was pretty perfect for playing outside. read more

Nice park and nice weather. Kids loved it until we found 2 ticks on my daughter and one on my self. Ugh to many this time of year

fairly nice park. i'm from daly city so it was a bit of a drive but it was a nice drive. it's by terra nova HS if you're familiar with the area. i took my niece and nephew here, and there was a lot to do for both bigger and smaller kids. it's good that they require parental guidance for kids of a certain age range. there's also a huge field right next to the park so there's a lot of space for other activities. one thing i noticed tho, there isn't a lot of diversity. read more

I am giving this place one star, because I want it all to myself. I don't want people to discover this place then it would get crowded, get dirty and take my bbq grill. Choo, go find another place. read more
