We are lucky to have such a park within a fifteen minute walk. On a clear day, you can see downtown in its entirety as well as the bay. It is a well used park, which can turn the playground into something similar to a catbox, so no barefoot kiddies. The equipment is old fashioned and fun, put in during the 70s, swings, slides, plenty of grass shaded by palms and magnolias. Added bonus, depending on your tastes, are the sunbathers. Many of the leatherettes are the same you would find at any sunny spot anywhere, but being San Francisco, the upper terrace is the designated Castro beach where men (to our general embarrassment) wear gold lame pouches, and nothing else. Ruth took her first big-girl solo swing on this visit.
