There's a playground in the Portrero Hill district of San Francisco called Jackson Playground (Arkansas Street, between Mariposa and 17th St.). We had to check it out!The playground is laid out in separate play areas -- one for toddlers, the other for kids 5 and up -- and separated by a low, gracefully curving wall that's just tall enough for Jack to walk along.
The wall is embedded with tiles along the top and side. A neighborhood artist who was chosen by the San Francisco Art Commission to conduct a tile-decorating workshop for kids, taught over a 100 young artists how to paint and glaze tiles. Their 150 hand-painted creations are installed on the top of the wall and the artist did the colorful mosaics along its sides.
Jack isn't yet walking but loves to swing, watch the older kids, is fascinated by the sand, and likes to slowly climb and crawl around.
