Mission Bay Kids Park — Attraction in San Francisco

It's a fun playground because it's clean and the kids really enjoyed it. But you have to be careful in the sandbox. My daughter almost got seriously injured. While my daughter was collecting sand underneath, my son was dropping sand from above. He slid the bucket attached to the pole and it fell off all the way down and almost hit my daughter’s head. It's scary to imagine a bucket with heavy sand hitting a small child's head. It definitely needs a stopper on the pole to prevent it from sliding down.

I reported this to park management, but they didn't see it as a big deal. Here is their reply; "It’s unfortunate but children can and do get hurt on playgrounds. We take all precautions and do preventative maintenance on the park bi-monthly. We can take a look at the bucket. That said, we checked the specs and it was installed correctly."

Since the park management is like this, it looks like parents will have to be careful. I hope the children will...

Good park to take your kids to. Parents here are really good about wearing masks and giving you space. There are two areas, one for 12-36 month, and another for 3-8 years, with some park benches in the middle. Also some abstract areas like the wicker arches, some logs on top of a hill, and a gravel/sand pit for a variety of activities. Park is surrounded by landscaping on both sides of the fence which helps isolate kids from strangers on the outside (in a good way). Also a stones throw away from several coffee shops. Ground near the play sets is covered in soft rubber.

Between this playground, and the one by Oracle Park, this one is 100x better/more private, and twice...

Nice, relatively new playground. Nice greenery around the edge of the park. Good toddler area including a sand pit. The equipment for older kids is pretty decent though need more swings and the tallest structure with a slide that requires climbing a wall or other complicated features to get to the top is too hard for the target age of slides.

The park is lacking shade (should have planted more trees) and so gets really hot on hot days. Finally, it's lacking a bathroom (all playgrounds should be required to have bathrooms), though can walk 2 blocks over to Spark Social and use...
