About Upper Playground

Upper Playground and the record store Persimmon exist in the same space, mixing music and skate/street wear in an effectively uptempo yet chill way. Their dedication to local artists and skaters is impressive: not only is there an Upper Playground skate team, but the second room of the store is an all-local art gallery. Featured artists on their clothing design include Damon Soule, Dale Dreiling, Ricky Powell, Gregory, Sam Flores, and Dave Kinsey. It's a cool and easy place to lose a few sunny afternoon hours.

The Lower Haight
Must-Stops in the Neighborhood
By Helene Goupil (05/19/2006)

" Going to the Lower Haight usually means that there is a night of bar hopping and cheap eating in the very near future. For drinking there's Toronado, Molotov's, Mad Dog in the Fog, and Noc Noc, and for good but cheap food perfect for pre- or post-imbibing, there's Naan N' Chutney, Ali Baba's, Rosamunde, and a late snack of pizza from Mythic or Volare's, but lately there's a lot more to this neighborhood than food and drink.

Upper Playground
A Playground in the Haight
By Jialin Luh (12/31/2004)

" What do Alice in Wonderland, The Beatles, and an urban fashion/art outfit have in common? Try a walrus. That's right, if you're keen to your surroundings you may have caught the easily recognizable walrus silhouette slapped on many a wall and street sign. According to an unnamed source, the significance of the walrus is its representation of not a single individual, but a faceless collective of people, which embodies Upper Playground's operation. "

Music Makes Fashion
By grace chen (12/01/2003)

" Video killed the radio star. If so, then fashion can make both the radio and video stars. The Village People and Marilyn Manson would hardly be the same without their respective headdress or latex suit. "
