Mission Bay Boardwalk is a great spot for a little exercise.

Ready to go for a loop? Starting at Fanuel Park head west on the boardwalk and follow it along until you reach Belmont Park, there continue the walkway to your leftover the first bridge, Mission Bay Drive. Throughout the run you will cross over two bridges, this is where your elevation gain/loss will be. After the bridge, follow the pathway on your left that sticks to the waterfront, it will wrap you around to the next bridge and give you gorgeous bay views. The next bridge you’ll reach is Ingrahm St, run across and take your first left at the light, Riviera Dr. Unfortunately the path directly at the end of the bridge is a staircase, staying on Riviera for .5 mile still gives you those scenic views and will bring you to a ramp which you can stroll with ease back to the boardwalk below you and wrap around the bay to where you started. 

Starting at the playground means you end at one! Perfect spot for you and your kiddo to stretch those legs after a run. Another option for this stroller run is starting at Crown Point Park - in that case, when you cross over the Ingrahm Bridge you would turn right instead of left, and turn onto Crown Point Dr to end where you began. Some nearby spots to grab an after-workout snack for you and your little one are Bayside Landing and The Patio.
