Bar Crudo

One of San Francisco's most popular restaurants, a Divisadero favorite with a changing table.

Mexican with outdoor seating and a menu that suits sharing with kids.

The hill across from the Painted Ladies, with a wide lawn to run down, benches with the postcard view and a playground at the top end.

A family-run donut shop since 1960 that still makes everything from scratch, home of a giant challenge donut you try to finish in three hours.

Fenced and on several levels under the trees, with a structure each for big and small kids, a sandbox and a peek at the Painted Ladies.

More nature walk than playground outing, with winding trails, old oak trees and steep climbs to big views.
