Little Hollywood Park — Attraction in San Francisco

I grew up in this neighborhood and watched basketball nets oscillate between white nylon nets and grey metal nets -- sometimes (too many times, actually), the basketball rims would go netless. Did the ball go in or not? Who knows.

As for the play area (next to the basketball courts), I remember getting splinters when everything was made of wood (back in the 90's). And emptying my shoes a countless amount of times -- still managing to find residual sand when I got home.
