It also has a little house structure. In addition, it has the large and small play structures for children. It is nicely all fenced in, including a small lawn. It has swings and tables too.

Small playground in a quiet neighborhood. We found it on Google Maps but it doesn't appear on Yelp…read morefor some reason. It looks newly built and event the woodchipped flooring is new. There are two structures. One for small kids perfect for age 1.5-4 and the other for slightly bigger and up maybe age 2-8. My son enjoy the numerous slides and the bucket swings. Seating is a little odd as there is one lonely picnic bench towards the center left and a lone bench in the very center. We enjoyed the playground to ourself on a Saturday evening around 5-6pm and were lucky with parking right in front. Small but perfect visit for our short park venture today.

They had so much fun they didn't want to leave to go to Lincoln Park few blocks up (they wanted to hit all the parks close by if possible) We were here for a good 30 minutes. We threw around a football on the baseball field. They climbed and sled down the slide for a good 7-9 times. They love the huge spinner! Would not get off it.

Looking for a quiet playground in San Francisco without the chaos? This hidden Sunnyside park is…read moreone of the best low-traffic spots for kids -- calm, clean, and actually relaxing. Not flashy -- just functional, peaceful, and easy with kids. It's not the biggest or most popular park in SF, but that's exactly why it works. It feels tucked into the neighborhood instead of crowded or overstimulating, which makes it way more manageable with little ones. We've had picnic days here where my baby just watches the dogs running around, and somehow it turns into its own little show -- simple, low-effort, and surprisingly perfect. If you've ever searched for a quiet park in San Francisco, a low-traffic playground for toddlers, or just somewhere you can actually breathe while your kid plays -- this is one of those spots. Good for: All ages (best for toddlers-~8) What matters: * Playground: Yes (rubbery cushion flooring -- great for little ones) * Baby-friendly: Open field for picnics + watching other kids/dogs * Bathrooms: Yes (each restroom has a changing table -- super helpful) * Dog-friendly: Yes (dogs allowed in the park, but not inside the children's play area) * Seating: Several large picnic tables + scattered benches * Shade: Very limited -- can get hot on sunny days * Parking: Limited -- expect to walk in or get dropped off * Terrain: Mostly flat with paved paths (easy for strollers and wheelchairs) * Accessibility: Wheelchair-friendly layout overall Real-life insight: This is one of those parks that doesn't stand out at first -- but once you're there, you realize how much easier it is than busier San Francisco playgrounds. Less chaos, more space, and a calmer overall vibe. Pro tips: * Go on an overcast day -- this park shines when it's cool out since there's very little shade * After rain, bring a towel so you can dry off the play structure and still get a full park day in * Best for low-key days when you want something simple, not overstimulating

My niece and nephew love this park. It's hugeeeeeeee! Lots…read moreof space and grass to run around!! They have a bathroom!!! Thank goodness!!! Their structures are spaced out! It's fun. Even for me! Some thing unique other than swings and slides. Gives the kids a chance to actually use their body and strength. Test their own abilities. Only thing I don't like is, the mats are all holey and broken on some areas. Dangerous when a kid trips or sprain their ankles. I informed my babies to watch out for it and avoid it. I hope the groundskeeper will see it and fix it.

I always drove by this park and thought it was not suitable for my kids since growing up around…read morethis area it was a little shady since a lot of folks back in the days would hit up 7-11 and come over here Well this weekend while visiting San Mateo instead of opting for the Fiesta Gardens park we decided to go here. I was pleasantly surprised. Parking in the residential area vs coming coming from the busy street there is limited reserved parking. When we arrived there was no body there but soon more families came. I felt safe and the foot traffic through the park was folks going on across the street to the shopping area or resident living near by coming in. The play structure was cool. There is an older kid section and more of a young kid area with swings and a mini house. There is a grass area for kids to play around and picnic tables. The park itself was clean and well kept. I truly was surprised by it. The kids called it the Ronald McDonald park since the park is red and yellow color. This is a nice park to come. For smaller baby infants may not be suitable but more for pre-k and above. The park gets a lot of sun and there are trees to keep cool in the shade with benches there to relax. It was a nice find to entertain the kids.

Other parents and kids were nice, but there were a few people just using the park as a walk through. There are two play structures. The smaller one is not great for little ones and the bigger one is scary big. The park is right along a busy street and has a good gate system blocking access. Unfortunately, on the other side near the houses, the fencing has two open paths. No restroom.
