Lessing & Sears Children’s Play Area

A playground a short walk from the Legion of Honor, in a 100-acre park with views of downtown, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands.

A simple neighborhood playground with a basketball court right beside it, good when one kid wants to climb and another wants to shoot hoops.

A volunteer run local history museum with old photos, documents and neighborhood artifacts. Best for curious school age kids.

Themed gardens and whimsical woodcarvings by the park's longtime gardener line its trails, around a playground, a ball field and a busy basketball court.

Wood sculptures line the little trails all around, with BART trains rolling past.

Built around a very tall tower with a twisty slide, ringed by climbing stacks and a big spinner, with ball courts beside it.
