Visit Koret Children’s Quarter, San Francisco, California

Add to My List Check Off

With an embracing deep green backdrop, the new and improved children’s playground at Golden Gate Park was reopened in 2007 and renamed the Koret Children’s Quarter. Established in 1888, there is something special here that many playgrounds do not offer – an authentic carousel. While this historic gem provides a delightful center of wonder and mental stimulation, the entire Children’s Quarter is marked with a sense of youthfulness, fun, and invigorating action. A blend of old and newer features decorate the children’s playground – a setting filled with a harmonious intermingling of rock, rubber, plastic, dirt, grass and sand. Children now cling to reach the next level of a towering rope climbing structure. A climbing wall shaped like waves offers textured exploration. With a piece of cardboard in hand, kids and adults alike can rip down the historic concrete slide. There are patches of grass for visitors to settle into, read a book, and watch the kiddies from afar. While there are no tennis or basketball courts, you will find larger grassy fields adjacent to the playground, which provides a space for group games. There is also an area designated for dog lovers to mingle.
