Peixotto Playground

“Very small, hidden old school type wooden playground - hasn't been renovated (like many SF playgrounds have been over the years) so it's still in the same style has they were in the 80's/90's; wooden w/ green painted derailing & a few metal structures (swings, slide, money bars ect). Yes its small (its technically part of the co-op daycare that operates in the small rec building) but it's much better than the super basic playground around the other side of the hill behind it on States st/below the Randall museum. So since there's a co-op here - I wouldn't advise coming here during the mornings and early afternoons during the week. Especially since it isn't a super big or wide open space. If you want something like that then there's a huge field right next to the basketball/tennis courts that are adjacent to the playground on States. There is a community garden that is on the edge of the field but the field is wide and open. Besides the field at the base of the mountain (near the street you turn onto in order to get to the Randall), this is probably the most dog friendly area of the relatively large area of Corona Heights Park Anywho the obvious main attraction here is the HUGE slickenside rock formation that is visible on the outside of the Gate (that leads to the street). It's beautiful and such a huge piece of something that is very rare especially in such a urban setting. It's huge and is not meant for rock climbing even though people have often mistaken that you can. Check the sign!”

“Old school tall swing set. Feels like flying! Not too crowded, but parking is a little tricky.”
