Basketball courts, grassy areas, walking trails, new feature: workout area, small building, is this the clubhouse? Small parking lot. But you could also park on the borders. Passed by on sunday morning. I used to hang out here. I passed it a lot too, usually on foot, until I started driving. Corner of Templeton and Brunswick. In between my old house, high up on the hill, just off Lowell, and my uncle's house (but definitely closer to my uncle's house). Not busy on sunday morning. There were a few people, I'd say less than ten. When I was a kid the busiest spot was the basketball courts. I'd say it's a small park (about a block). But it's got a lot to offer. Clean too. That's a plus. Definitely brought back memories. It's part of my childhood and teenhood. read more

This review is for the big patch of grass by this playground. I'm on a mission to explore most, if not all parks, playgrounds, dog areas in the City. We have quite a few parks and green areas here so exercising my little one is usually not an issue. My little one loves this grassy area so much. He loves to play fetch, run around, chase and be chased by other pups. There is a CVS and an Adronico nearby for snacks and water. read more

My BFF and I do a lot of research before we take our kiddos to safely play at a park. From restrooms to parking to where can we sit and safely watch the kids play to "how close is food and coffee"-- if I've selected a park to host a family day... it'll be a good one that checks all the boxes! So this park is definitely a nice place to have a picnic, but beware of muddy grass! There's a huge hill covered in grass and flowers and you don't really think anything of it.. until squish, squish, MUD. Bring a thick picnic blanket or 2! There's also 3 picnic tables closer to the play structure, if an old school picnic on the grass isn't your thing. Once you pick some dry land, you can relax on the grass and have lunch (we ordered another round of birria tacos from Cielito Lindo; only a 3 min drive away!) There's plenty of shade, but the sun feels just right over here. A little wind, a little sun, and a lot of space for socially distancing. The kids loved the park! There's rock climbing, slides of different heights, this huge monkey bar climbing thing /spinning structure and a separate tot area-- PLUS, no sand! The parking lot is pretty big, but it does share with the golf course next door. On a Saturday afternoon, there was a good amount of people, but it still felt safe and spacious. There's restrooms onsite, and a CVS next door. When you park your car in the lot, take a closer look onto the golf course and you'll see a beautiful shot of the GGB nestled in between the trees. read more

I came here with my nephew on Saturday Mother's Day weekend there was a birthday party there and the parents brought glass bottles of water. My nephew and I weren't part of the party we just stopped by to play since it was a nice day outside. I was nervous about the glass on the ground and the big size of the party. We didn't stay long, just enough time to for my nephew to get his energy out before we went to Andronicos to get some stuff for a party in the backyard of my building. The turf was sort of coming up in the smaller kids structure side like there was roots coming out. It was surprising since it's a new playground somewhat. read more

The views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the bay and the ocean are magnificent. It is a nice place to walk; even in the car you can see these views from roadway. The Legion of Honor, one of S.F premier museums, stands on a highpoint in the park. The museum is a beautiful building. The park, the views and the museum are all magical. It seems to be almost impossible to park on the weekends and whenever there is a special exhibit. read more

A great little neighborhood park. Lincoln is within short walking distance from Fort Miley and the SFVAMC hospital. It makes a great place to take a break during long days at the hospital. Shade tree covered areas with picnic tables, maintained trails, playground equipment for children young and old, along with some spectacular views of the the Golden Gate Bridge and bay. As well, there are several other parts to this park, the legion of honor museum and a public golf course, all are within the confines of this great city park. Well worth a visit, even if it's just to get out and take a walk and get some fresh air between appointments. 00408 read more

How things change! I don't know how long this new play park has been here, but it has some really awesome play structures for the kids. Including lots of spinny things that remind me of being in an amusement park. We never had playgrounds like this when I was a kid. We were lucky if we had monkey bars and a slide. Forget the rubber floor. We made do with sand. The kids loved it and we had to finally drag them away. Standing around in the cold watching them stay warm by playing finally got to us. read more

The playground was completely remodeled. Gone is the dirty sand and in its place, soft mat. The play structures are also new and in great condition. A few minuses: This is not an enclosed playground. So if your kids prone to wander around, then you have to be extra vigilant that they don't wander up the street and off the facilities. Since it's not enclosed, that means any stranger can actually wander and too. So yeah, you pretty much have to keep an eye on your kid at all times if you go here. The bathrooms are creepy and disgusting. It's not located in the park. You have to climb up a hill to enter what looks like a creepy abandoned building. Park & Rec, why is the bathrooms not lit? If you renovated the park, why didn't you fix the bathrooms? Again with the issue of an open park, you have to worry about some creep hiding in the bathrooms. Park=fun for kids, stressful for parents. read more

Awesome park! No tanbark! No sand! Soft ground perfect for a worried mother. The playground is up to date with cool slides and spinning things and it's super clean! My kids loved it and my husband and I enjoyed it too! read more

There's a part of me that misses the green wooden play equipment that used to live in a huge sandpit here, but I've also spent time here recently with my nephew and niece and have seen how much they love the new play equipment, so I'm going to throw nostalgia out the window for once and declare that, in this case, change is good. It helps, of course, that the new play equipment is weird looking and kind of scary and that it's actually possible for children to get hurt playing on and falling off of it. I'm not saying I like to see children get hurt, but a lot of new playground equipment is so safe that it's not really fun, and there is a certain unquantifiable value to children injuring themselves slightly and learning lessons from these injuries. If you don't learn early on exactly how high you can climb and how far you can fall and how fast you can spin, how are you going to make more educated decisions about physics and risk-taking and personal safety when you're older? Helpfully, there is separate equipment for younger and older children. That's not to say that my two-year-old niece doesn't love the big-kids equipment and my four-year-old nephew doesn't love the little-kids equipment, but it is nice to be able to sequester your tiny tot to the smaller, less dangerous structure. San Francisco doesn't have nearly enough children, but the ones who are fortunate enough to live here have some pretty amazing places to play. If you're looking for a new place to bring your kids, Lincoln Park Playground is definitely worth the trip. read more

This is a great way to experience the raw power and rugged beauty of the CA coast while still being w/in the city limits of San Francisco. After a few minutes of walking, you are miles away from the urban jungle and can commune with nature, get great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and disappear into the fog. If you come to Golden Gate Park - and by all means, do! - make a stop here as well. You will not regret it! Land's End, esp., is really worth a visit. read more

Although the park is most definitely remodeled for awhile now, parents need to be aware about the fact that there is a middle school and high school near by, therefore, immature kids pass by lot, some doing bad things that are not okay for a little kid to see. However, the pros of this location is the fact that it does have more recreational structures for kids to play with and the spacious area of grass to play sports or just run freely haha. read more

There's the Legion of Honour, with beautiful fountains and Rodin in the entrance. There's a golf course for the middle aged and polo-collared. There's beautiful views overlooking the city from very far away. Beautiful views of Golden Gate Park. Beautiful views of the ocean and towards the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. There's a playground with the most kickass play equipment. (So sometimes I end up here after nights at Tee Off to go swing...literally). I love this park. read more

No sand, but if you have a little explorer the dirt garden immediately behind the playground is sure to keep your little one nice and dirty. It looked like most of the kids stuck to the playground- and why wouldn't they? Great slides, an awesome spinny thing and two different areas of equipment, based on age/level of bravery. The grass area is nice and sloped, which helps to keep certain little explorers within chasing vicinity, which is important since the play area is not fenced in. Well, there's a low stone barrier, but it serves more as big-people seating and little people walking/playing surface. It's probably one of the cleaner playgrounds we've been to in the city. There's also a Fresh & Easy is right next door, so if you need to grab something from there, well, it's right there. read more

A good upgrade from the former playground. I spent about an hour here from sunset to ditch dark night. Kids and dogs still come when the sun has set as late as 9:30pm when I was here earlier. There are two tables with bench seats and a lot of other makeshift seats on the concrete that encloses the playground. I don't recall any sand; all the floor is the tough foam that looks like it's made out of millions of fake mini-pebbles (don't know what the surface is called). Kids are really intrigued by the spinning-rope "tree"/carousel. The structure is really plain. There are only 2 "adult" swings and I saw 2 baby swings. Low budget, I guess. There's also a grassy hill directly next to the playground that's great for rolling down. However, it's kind of dog territory so scout out the dog crap and bugs first. read more

Awesome place!!! Walk past the swings and then follow the trail that follows the golf course, you will get to some stairs which have a nice view. Continue to Follow the golf course path and you reach a road cars go on. This is where the coastal trail starts with an awesome view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the ocean. It's an awesome trail that isn't too intense. Very nice and relaxing walk that will lead you to the sutro baths. read more

A place to get away without actually leaving. San Francisco is an amazing city to feel that way about many places of this amazing 7x7 place. Lincoln Park houses an amazing, sprawling location to chill and just be. read more

This park is super adorable. It's not one of the biggest parks around SF, but it definitely has a lot of options for your child to play around. Also, it is close by to a big grass hilly field, and your dog can go running around to its heart desire. Just make sure to pick up its poop. Anyway, the floor around the toys is the squishy soft kind, in order to protect your child in case they fall. They have several slides, swings, monkey-bars, and whatever else you want in a park. I believe this park is good for children of all ages. Another thing that I love, is that this park has a few picnic tables. So it was super nice to grab take-out from a close by restaurant and eat, while our niece played around with one adult supervising her. Great option for parents who want restaurant food but have a toddler who don't want to sit still in a restaurant for an hour. read more

Great place to get in touch with the nature side of yourself! Close to the Cliff House, Lands End, Baker Beach, and hey, there's even a golf course up there!! read more

Best place in the CIty to find a cute hunny who is in touch with her natural side......and who probably enjoys doobies.

Follow the paths through the golf course behind the Legion of Honor, take the trail down through the trees (and then up the stairs) about a mile out. You'll find yourself on a small secluded beach in the northwest corner of San Francisco with killer views of Marin County, the Pacific Ocean and a decent view of the Golden Gate Bridge. As a bonus, someone's constructed a large circular maze of rocks on the cliff overlooking Marin, which gives you something to do while you soak in the scenery. read more

I just love this place. My recommendation if you're downtown: take the #5 (Fulton) trolley and get off at La Playa St & Cabrillo St. There's a Safeway, where you can purchase stuff for a picnic. Walk south across Fulton St. to get to Golden Gate Park, where you can visit the Dutch Windmill and the Tulip Garden, and then down on John F. Kennedy Drive and across the Great Highway to Ocean Beach. Walk north to the end, where you can the Cliff House and Camera Obscura. Further North you'll see the Sutro's Baths, and then East, along Point Lobos Ave., you'll find the entrance to your right to Sutro's Heights Park, right before 48th Ave. When you exit Sutro Heights follow the Lands End trail until the end (northern trails have the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge) and then take El Camino Del Mar back to the Legion. When you're done exploring you can follow 34th Ave until Geary Blvd, turn left and then right onto 33rd Ave, and ride the 38 (Geary) bus back to Union Square. Not too many people and some of the best views of the bay. Definitely, one of my favorite places in SF. read more

The Legion of Honor is located here and there is a golf course to play on. I go here for the walking and the sights. I really like that the trails are for anyone to walk, just watch out for the golf carts and golf balls, they both should have the right-of-way. read more

Awesome views Great hike at Land's End. awesome stair burn Great playground for parties:jumpy castle etc. read more
