Two long, steep concrete slides are the main attraction at this hidden gem. They're not for tiny tots, nor for the faint of heart! If you decide to slide, please remember that the park closes at sunset and adults must be accompanied by children. Bring a piece of cardboard and wear sturdy pants!
Built in 1973 on a plot slated for development, the mini-park also has a community garden and a nice collection of native plants. The slide was designed by 14-year-old Kim Clark, who won a competition put on by sculptor Ruth Asawa.
"This is not for the younger crowd--these cement slides are the only feature of this tiny park, and they aren't for the beginning slider. But if you have an older child who has a need for speed and is a proficient climber (to get back to the top), this park is perfect. And it appears to be very popular with the young adult and hipster set, too. Bring cardboard for a super-fast slide, and be sure to wear sturdy pants."
