45th Avenue Playground is a great play area nestled on the western end of Golden Gate Park.
This boat themed play area is great for all ages! Often referred to as “Boat Park” or “Blue Boat Playground,” it is a favorite spot to play. Smaller children will love digging in the sand and climbing around the life size boat installment decorated with cute ocean creatures, while older children will find joy in the swings, monkey bars, slides, and other features. It is recommended to bring along a few sand toys and to wear shoes that kiddos can take off easily or don’t mind getting sand in. There are both toddler and big kid swings in addition to the wooden play structure.
It’s not a huge playground area, but it is surrounded by a large grassy space and is shaded by all of the many beautiful cypress trees. The grassy area allows kids to run free and let their imaginations go wild! This would be an awesome spot for a picnic on a summers day. There are four picnic tables which are available for rent or for use on a first come first serve basis. Another great feature of this park is that the restrooms are just steps away.
The paved path that goes right by the playground is perfect for bikes or scooters, or even a stroller run, and will take you to other parts of Golden Gate Park. You can access the playground from Lincoln Way instead of venturing inside the park, or make a whole day of it and check out some of the other amazing things Golden Gate Park has to offer!
