Parklab Gardens

Outdoor mini golf at Mission Rock built around the city's gold-rush history, with eighteen holes that suit a school-age kid.

Mission Bay food-truck park with lawn games and room for strollers; every age finds something.

Logs, boulders, earth mounds and a willow hut make up most of this playground, with a fenced area for climbing, swinging and sliding.

A small, quirky museum built around artificial intelligence and its risks. More thought provoking than hands on for younger kids.

Dumplings made fresh where you can watch, plus crispy gyoza and hand-cut noodles.

Mission Bay hotel with two-queen rooms and an outdoor terrace near the ballpark.
