Balboa Park Playground

Cute little park for kids under 9/10 yrs old. Plenty of parking and space to run around. However it does get really dark after sunset, they would really need to add extra street lights if it’s open 24/7 (as mentioned on the google)

We go to this playground almost every day but it is very sad to see that Balboa Park administration is not cleaning this playground ever. There is a lot of trash in wood chips and all around slides and under slides and by swings. One of the slides is almost never used because it is very steep and kids can hurt themselves on it. There used to be trashcans that stopped working. They have been removed and never replaced. Also, I am not sure what genius designed it but the soft rubber surface ends abruptly and sand starts so there is about 5 inches difference in between them. I saw kids tripping and falling over it hundred times. Unfortunately, this is the closest playground and my son has friends there now so we still go there pretty often. Otherwise, it would never be my first choice.

One of my favorite family friendly parks. Lots of room for kids to play ball and with their dogs. Great place to enjoy museums, have lunch or go on a run. Check out more of my pictures on my IG @jesuistopnotch

It has very basic playground settings, I feel that this place could have a huge playground with amazing things for kids of all ages but... I dont know how they can achieve that hahaha but it's ok for small kids to spend a bit of time there.
