Positive Reviews:
Milton Lau: ★★★★
Even though it is omitted from all tourist maps, and locked up overnight, it has a clean well kept though modest toilet facility. Separate male and female rooms. I'm sorry the parks dept are too poor right now to put in a third gender neutral toilet.
Oswaldo Simental (Ozzy): ★★★★★
Good place for kids and bball. From my experience Saturday mornings with nice weather is a good time to find people to hoop with. Otherwise it's a good place to shoot around. Seems like it's a good place for little kids and tennis too.
Asher McInerney: ★★★★★
Nice little neighborhood park with basketball tennis court and a recreational center. Children's playground has lots of cool stuff, swings and a sandbox. Lots to climb on. Slides and an upper area with seating. Great little urban gem.
Debra Wilcox: ★★★★★
This was our neighborhood park for 3 years when living in SF. Great playground area for the kids, with enough stuff to keep older and younger kids occupied. There is even a sand box area which is always a hit. For my older daughter's 2nd bday, we had her party here (on the second level picnic tables). It worked out perfectly. Unlike places like Crissy Fields where you have to get down there at the crack of dawn to save a picnic table, we went mid-morning without any issues. there are public (clean!) bathrooms on site. Parking is tricky around there though with Polk street right there. Another nice benefit is even if SF isn't particularly warm, the park gets a lot of sunlight and remains quite warm as its sheltered between buildings.

Used to be very dirty. Got better recently. Wish it had more areas for little ones.. With some fake grass
