Twin Peaks
About this place
The high lookout over the whole city. Windy and cold most days, no shelter, but the view is the view; go at dusk.
How kid-friendly is it?
Nearby places
Roomy playground with a modern structure and a sandbox under trees, a clubhouse that runs Tiny Tots, and a grass field that was once Adolph Sutro's pasture.
A toddler-friendly playground with a big sand area and a bench where parents can sip coffee.
A small playground known for its slides.
The slide is the whole attraction here, so plan on a short burst rather than a full afternoon; wheelchair-accessible toilets on site.
Two parks in one: a lower terrace with the playground, courts and picnic spots, and an upper terrace with a downtown view where the dog can run.
Pair the playground with a short walk into a real urban canyon, where you can find a creek, rock formations and spring wildflowers.
