What a fantastic park for the little ones, located at the back of Pacifica. Since it's more in the…read morevalley, it's shielded a bit from the sea winds and the weather is quite nice. The play structure is massive and definitely caters to the little ones' imaginations as you can pretend you're in a castle, complete with turrets. They also have a sandbox, playhouses, and swings, so you are sure to find something for all the kids to enjoy. They also have picnic tables and a giant grassy area where you can run around, hold birthday parties, or just sit to have lunch. A couple of bathrooms are located on site, and they are relatively clean, although they do not provide soap or sanitizer.

A wanderer explained I would need to get back on the freeway and go around etc. so I just shrugged and hauled myself on the paved path to the park. Playground: I'm such a fan because my son is 17 months and the playground was a great size for him. The slides are low to the ground so I feel comfortable with him going down on his own. I wish the swings were longer cause it's a lot back and forth quick swings but he doesn't complain and asks to jump back and forth between the two options. The area is very small, but not crowded so a sweet low key option for a parent who doesn't want to run around too much. There's a fun dome like spinning seat and a larger swing to sit with your kid in as well. There's not a ton at this park but what there was enough. Safety: I felt super safe here! I There were a handful of people with kids resting at some of the few picnic tables who kept to themselves. There were a few teenagers that strode in but they also kept to themselves. The flooring at this park is spongey and I had no worries about my son falling. There is a concrete "stage" with concrete seating around it that my son loved climbing on so I was close-by for that play area. Resting: Plenty of grass for picnics and 2-3 picnic tables that I noticed. Nothing was shaded though. Overall: I would definitely come back. My son was not ready to leave as he loved it here. I just need to figure out the correct parking lot!

The trees form a large covered pathway reminiscent of the arches of a large cathedral. We were there in late summer, on a day when the fog was hugging the shore and creating an eerie atmosphere... it made for a beautiful atmosphere so typical of this shore. Parking wasn't an issue as we were there on a Saturday morning. I imagine this gets busier later in the day.... looks like it might be a very popular spot for picnics. The pathways are well maintained, and you get great access to this unique ecosystem. Make sure you hike to the top of the cliff and walk into the "cypress tree tunnels" to see what I'm talking about... it's a beautiful place.

This is such a cute, ocean-themed, neighborhood park! It is small but the structures are…read moreinteresting enough to hold my almost five year old's attention for sometimes two hours. As with most Bay Area parks, it has a separate area for children 2-5, which I have seen mostly people with babies use because that area is really contained. Also, since the park isn't very big, the area for children over 5 isn't intimidating to smaller children. This is because unlike larger parks, big kids aren't unknowingly running over the little kids while they are playing. This is a good thing if you are trying to keep track of a small child. The structures are so cute. There is a lighthouse and boat, a dolphin decorated slide, a shark, and toward the back of the structure are two walls for climbing - one with a monster on it and the other - well, it is a bit hard to identify (!?!?). It looks like Pinnochio maybe, but that is a little random. It could be just a dancing boy wearing shorts with suspenders and a feather in his cap - which, is still random, hahaha. Anyway, the walls are fun and my daughter climbs right up them and then swings to a rope and pulls herself up onto the structure that way. Man, I wish I could do what she does! There is a small basketball court as well, so I bring my daughter's bike and she takes turns riding her bike all around the black top and then going on the structures and then back to biking. It's great. We are so lucky to have Moss Beach Park nearby!

It's quiet, shady, and there's always parking. It had lots of trees, picnic tables, play sets for kids. The turf (grass) seems a little uneven and rough. I also notice this park seems to have a fence all the way around. Which might explain why people let their dogs run around here. I used to think it was a dog park, until I read the other reviews and saw the park signs. Yeah, so dogs should be on a leash and owners are to clean up the poop. I usually see dogs running off leash. It's a nice park, quiet and shady. Just watch out for the dogs. Located at Fremont Ave x Channing Way. 3 blocks from Monterey Rd.

I am at the park several times a week while my boys run wild with planes. They use the large trees for hiding games. My youngest learned to ride his bike at this park. Before the new play structures we're added, my oldest child loved to climb thru the old wooden structure. for whatever reason the city made the decision to remove those about four years ago and put in safer modern play equipment. Given the salty ocean air - it's probably not at all surprising that the new equipment is rusting thru. But what makes the park amazing is the natur. birds constantly singing, the gentle ocean breeze and the space for kids (human and dog) to run free.

I've been going to this park since the 80's when the park wasn't in a good shape. The main reason…read morefor going to this park was to play pick-up basketball when I used to be gung-ho about playing. Even if the court was outdoors, there were always good competition with older Filipino men to go around. Even though I was a kid and younger than them, I gave 'em a few bumps and bruises. After so many knee surgeries, playing basketball is no longer an option for me...let alone playing outdoors on hard concrete. I'll leave that to the younger generation now as I've come to terms that my glory days are way over. Besides, I don't want to be embarrassed as I've become that old Filipino man that I use to clown on the court. Yup, growing old sucks. Since my playing days are long gone, the city and county has poured in a lot of money to improve, not just the basketball court, but the entire park. There's two separate playgrounds for the older kids and toddlers. Both floor decks are made from recycled rubber, which has become the norm for modern playgrounds. It's very soft and bouncy with a little give for extra padding. There's plenty of picnic tables, that is often rented for parties and events. It's also handicap accessible with wheelchair ramps built in for easy access. There's plenty of grassy fields in the picnic areas as well as the baseball field. Dogs are welcomed too and poo bags are available for your disposal. Bring your dog to the old football field just besides the baseball field to let them run around off leash. There's plenty of free parking spaces available in the parking lot, as well as street parking. There's two tennis courts in an enclosed fence that makes it feel like a private court. They have offices and a community center inside, but I've never been in. If you live in the neighborhood, there's pathways that leads you to the park. Be careful though since I've encountered a few coyotes living in the area, including my sister, who lives just a couple of blocks away. It's a good place to be outdoors to get your exercise, walk your dog or just breathe fresh, foggy and cool South San Francisco weather. It's a clean and well-maintained park that's a good place to hang around and staying active.

What Oddstad does have, though, is relative solitude. One can often have the place to one's self (so long as the theater's not in session). I'm a sucker for things built prior to the invention of safety. No squishy sponge mats under the equipment here, and everything is built from metal or aged wood. Seriously, when's the last time you saw a metal slide on a playground? Well, here you go. The swings are for "big kids" (no leg-baskets for the wee), but the slide is aimed more at the mid-toddler market. It's too short for older kids, but waaaaaaaaay too steep and fast for a one-year-old. Picture the Radical Vertical Impact Simulation from the film "Spies Like Us" -- it's basically a cliff, but it's a very short cliff. There are two sets of stairs between the lower and upper parking areas if you want to do some fitness running. Just don't let your in-brain rendition of the "Rocky" theme distract you from watching your footing (a few of the steps are starting to break down a bit). Outdoor basketball is available on the lower parking lot. The backboard and net appear to have been gnawed on by a dinosaur, but otherwise seem perfectly functional, and the pavement is painted with both a "key" and a three-point line. Have fun.

There is so much to do at this park and it is never empty. The crowd varies from morning, afternoon & evening. I noticed that the younger crowd are usually at this park in the evening. Mornings are quiet but filled with many people walking or jogging. Afternoons get really busy, especially the children's playground.
