Very safe area!
Not sure how early you are thinking of going or the age of the children that you want to bring to the park, but this is a safe park. Like any park in the city you should be aware of your surroundings.
Most of the low shrubs have been removed and there are few hidden spaces left for encampment and surprise so it is easy to see what's around you. Additionally, the playground and stairs are quite active wth the parenting and exercise crowds respectively. Cars get burgled at night, but otherwise there is little I've encountered in the way of inappropriate, unsafe or threatening behavior during the day. It is a pretty active park in general and even before dawn many days there are upwards of 100 people running around in the dark for boot camp.
It is a beautiful park & has a nice place for small children to play. But, with so many homeless & illegal aliens, you have to keep a close watch on your kids. But it is in a better neighborhood.
I think so but always better if there are others around
