India Basin Shoreline Park

A hilltop youth park run by a community nonprofit since the 1960s, with a playground beside its program buildings.

The standout is a skywalk linking a climbing net to a 25 foot slide, plus a lawn and picnic area for the cooldown afterward.

Instead of standard equipment, kids climb logs, stumps and boulders, then you can walk the shoreline or pop into the EcoCenter.

Sit in the pen with the goats that clear the city's brush, muddy and close-up.

A Bayview playground with big concrete slides for older kids and a tree-shaped merry-go-round for younger ones.

A neighborhood spot with a playground, basketball court and community garden, plus wide views out toward the bay.
