Great playground near the ferry that is well maintained. Plenty of seating areas and a variety of different play structures for different age groups. The only thing missing is that there's a lack of shade. read more

A great playground conveniently located right across from the Ferry Building. It is relatively spacious with lots of equipment available for kids of different ages. It is a bit dated with a metal slide which was actually not very smooth so the kids kept getting stuck on it when they were coming down. However, they still had a good time. Lots of benches available for parents to sit at and keep an eye on their kids. There is only one entrance/exit which is nice as it decreases the risk of your child slipping out without you noticing. There is a public restroom located somewhat nearby as well as other shops and a parking garage. read more

Cute park, across the street from the ferry building. Nice turf with a lot of spring, but no shaded areas for sitting. A big climbing dome, a large play structure for bigger kids with a tall slide, and a smaller structure for toddlers. There's one little spinning seat, that will spin and spin with momentum! It's fun if you know what you're expecting, but if you sit down and don't know what you're in for, it could be jarring!! read more

One of Gavin's favorite places to go in the city. I don't go to the Ferry Building every time I am in San Francisco but I usually try to because I love the food stands that they have at the Ferry Building every Saturday. I take Gavin so he can play and run amuck so that he can see that although he does a lot for me - I do things for him, too. The park is clean and the structures are nicely spread apart. There are benches to sit but keep in mind that there is no shade. You enter and exit from a gate. It's a single source which makes it safe. + bring sunscreen + bring water + prepare to baste in the sun whilst your kid(s) play read more

Review #112 - 2018 After we got our chocolates from Dandelion, we decided to take the baby here for about an hour to play before heading over to our next destination. I was very surprised to see how many parents and kids were here since it's a tourist area & most people come here to enjoy the Fisherman's Wharf or the Embarcadero and such, but I never thought people actually bring their kids out to play. The playground is very nice, clean and well-maintained. My daughter had a great time playing with the other kids. Even the older boys were having fun playing along with her, and all 3 of them are teenagers. I love when my kids can enjoy their time together & I don't have to worry about the baby as much since the boys keep an eye on her for me as well. read more

Great playground near the Embarcadero BART station and across from the Ferry building. For the world cup they had a viewing party for both of the semi final games Cro/Eng and Bel/Fra that had great turnouts. I hope the city runs more events like this because it was great to see the community to come out for events like this on a beautiful summer afternoon in the City by the bay! read more

Sue Bierman Park Playground - Playgrounds Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sue Bierman Park Playground was opened on July 20, 2013. A new playground built within 2 years of planning, fund raising and city approvals. Normal parks take 5 to 7 years to complete. This park has many rules and is nice and clean. Admission to the park is free. Restrooms are not located in the park. Adults must be accompanied by a child. This looks like a fun park. http://www.somajournal.com/news/video-sue-bierman-park-playground-opening-celebration/ read more

This is an excellent playground for kids of all ages. There is a pirate ship structure that my toddler and 4 year-old both enjoyed, swings, a big kid slide, and a climbing rope dome. It is super clean, with beautiful surroundings. The ground is that bouncy stuff, which is so much better than sand or wood chips. We missed our ferry once after visiting the Ferry Building, and we spent time at this park. Now my son always wants to go here as part of the Ferry Building routine. One tip: no bathrooms here, so go before you go. read more

My son LOVED this playground. It's a decent size, given the prime real estate that it takes up. It's pretty much across the street from the Ferry Building, so we came here after shopping and dining at the Ferry Building. Since the park is located right off Embarcadero, a major street, it's great that it is fenced in so your child can run free and you don't have to worry about him or her running into traffic. I found everything to be very clean, and I love that it has no sand. The play structures are well kept and something that I have not seen before. My 3 year old enjoyed the pirate ship the most, spending half his time there. There are also plenty of (clean) benches located inside the fenced-off area. This will be a must-do stop for us every time we visit the area! read more

Pros: clean, activities for toddlers and bigger kids, gated in, beautiful view of ferry buildings Cons: none read more

What a lovely and CLEAN park on the Embarcadero. I took my Godson after a day at the Ferry Building and it was a nice way to end our sensory overload day. Plenty of space and things to do. There were a ton of kids the day we went but I didn't hear crying or screaming. Everyone seemed to play well and stay out of each others way...but plenty of socializing. I love places like this. Not sure how old or new it is, but it was my first time in there and it is a beautiful addition for family and various groups to visit. read more

Sue Bierman Park Playground - Cute cute cute... It's a park!! Great for parents too! - Playgrounds Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great place for kids to unwind after sitting through dinner or whatever nearby touristy thing they were recently subjected to. Play structures for little ones, slightly bigger ones, as well as a decent amount of fenced-in running space. Views of the Ferry Building, Embarcadero, and Bay Bridge. The bathroom situation is a bit cruddy. I recommend going across the street to the Ferry Building. Otherwise, you can take your chances at the nearby green tourist toilet (I generally avoid using these) or the Embarcadero Center. read more

For where it is, It's actually a great park. One a corner, it is close across the street from the Embercardero. The playground is good sized with great structures. the climbing rope structure is pretty big and the slide is also big. read more

The ground is really soft. I like how safe it is to let your kids climb and grow their gross motor skills.

Finally a decent kids playground along the Embarcadero. Great cause its across the street from ferry building. read more

Good condition playground--many structures look pretty brand new. They have a pirate ship for the little ones but it doesn't have much besides a slide. They have a seesaw type thing. They have a few swings. They have a bigger structure for bigger kids and a big climbing gym. Not a lot of shade in this park. Close to the piers. read more

I love that there's now a new playground near my work. My kids (4 &1) visit me at work frequently hence why I was super excited to take them. There's a toddler area and another area for older kids. Definitely plenty of things to do for the little ones. My kids loved the seesaw and the swings. Seeing the joys on their faces were priceless. I hope that they maintain this park. There are no restrooms, closest one would be in the 4 Embarcadero building. Will most definitely be bringing the little ones back here! read more

This is a great playground and much needed as there are no other playgrounds within about a mile of the Ferry Building. It is always full of kids having fun, but the equipment is such that it can sustain a lot of kids without them interfering with each others fun. It's a great place to stop off before or after the Farmers Market at the Ferry Building on Saturdays with the kids read more

Super fun park! We were staying in the Embarcadero/Financial District area so I didn't think we would really find a kids park so I was so happy to find this one. Located right at the end of Embarcadero. Tons of fun play structures for all ages. Perfect for toddlers and for a little older kids. read more

Extremely crowded, some parents need to regulate their kids and teach them manners. Needs to be bigger considering the number of people there. The playground is fun. read more

We brought my son here for the first time this weekend. He loved it. It's a decent sized playground with something for toddlers to older kids. My son loved the slide, though it was a bit intimidating for him. It's fairly steep for a toddler new to slides. And luckily my hubby was with me, so I was able to go up the structure with my son, while hubby waited for him at the bottom of the slide. For the really little ones, you need two people there. My son has a new love of swings, and they have both toddler and kid ones here. It's a smallish playground, so there are only two of each, so you have to wait your turn. When my son is older, I know he'll enjoy the seesaw and the climbing dome. One of my best friend's friend help lobby for this playground and designed it. It was iffy for a while there, but I'm glad everything worked out. So many families out there this weekend enjoying the beautiful weather and having fun with their kids at this new playground. We'll most certainly be back. read more

Visited this playground last time we were in the city and my kids LOVED it (so did my husband and I). There are swings, lots of climbing structures and beautiful views of the Bay Bridge and the Embarcadero clock tower. The park has a fence all the way around which is great when you have a kid who loves to run (like my almost 2 year old) but there is also a large grassy area outside the playground that is great for running around. read more

I really love coming to this park! It is always so nice and clean. I love to bring my little cousins here and I always feel so safe. There is a gardener there that I have had the pleasure of speaking with a few times. Unfortunately I don't really remember his name. I think he said it was Robert but I'm not sure so I will not say. He is very friendly and I can tell he really has a passion for what he does. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who still take pride in up-keeping a clean environment for others around them. A great place to bring your family, friends or read a nice book! read more

This is an amazing park. My kids love playing at this park because it is fun and safe. There are many friendly kids too. Park is safe for kids age 0-12yrs old. It is a closed area with gate. read more

This is a great addition to the neighborhood. It can get busy mid-day. On weekends it's packed with families and on weekdays it's packed with kids and their nannies. I love that it's located next to a big grassy field for my 2-year-old to run free. There is a toddler section and a bigger-kid section along with two bucket swings and two regular swings. We need more swings in the city. read more

One of the most well kept Parks in the city. The landscape and maintenance is outstanding. I bring my little ones and out of town visitors there for a nice bright SF day, and feel comfortable. The on duty landscaper that works for the city and maintains the park is always available to answer questions about green life and the parks environment. Its ALWAYS a pleasure to go there! read more

My kids have a blast playing at Sue Bierman Park playground. It's sand-free (which I love), and completely fenced with signage indicating that only adults with children may enter. The pirate-theme is very fun and there's plenty of equipment for climbing, sliding, swinging, and pretending on. Great for both smaller and bigger children and an excellent location next to the Ferry Building. read more

A great play area for kids next to the open space and the Ferry building. It is such a happening space.

A playground with a view! This is an oasis for kids in what was previously a soggy grassy field. The jungle gym is by far the best feature. There is no bathroom or drinking fountain nearby, the closest is at the Ferry Building. read more

This playground is just amazing! Great location across the street from the Ferry Building. Allows you to really enjoy the waterfront with your young children. Grab a treat or lunch from the Ferry Building and just walk over. There is green space adjacent to the playground for picnics and such. read more

This is a wonderful park where I just love to sit unwind and reflect on life. The park is well kept. I speak to the gardener on a regular basis who the park is assigned to. He gives me attention concerning park issues and he listens to my concerns.I think that he is an amazing person who takes pride in his work and has a holistic approach on maintaining the park creating a sustainable and Eco-Friendly landscape. read more

Nice little park for kids and adults alike (sitting around) on the Embarcadero. There are grassy areas all along if you are walking your dog. The park is also maintained well and is clean. read more

Our baby loves this playground, especially the swings! It's clean and large enough to fit plenty of kids without feeling too crowded. It's also conveniently located across the Embarcadero from the Ferry Building. Easy for lunch at Gott's followed by fun times at the playground. We also like the grassy area at Sue Bierman Park. read more
