Seward Mini Park

I found this place by Yelp, it's really cool!!just giant slides, very fun!! but before you go there be sure that it didn't rain the day before, coz in front of the slide you will find a little lake!!so , no way to FLY down, unless you want to "swim" :D but anyway, it's a good place to be , there are NO TURISTS(just don't forget to take a kid with you, otherwise you aren't alloud :( oh, also don't go before sunrise and after sunset, neighbors are alloud to call the police)

A great little park to burn some energy at! It's tucked into a compact space between buildings; make sure you check the hours, the park is closed on Mondays.

Bring a piece of cardboard for the cement slide. It's doable without, just a bit harder on the clothes (as if the little need another excuse to ruin their clothes).

Not a business. Not quite a park. Super cute built-in mini slides in a neighborhood way up on the hills. People often leave cardboard behind for you to use, but just in case bring your own. You don't need it, but there is always a chance that you could lift your pants lol. It's open 10 to 5 closed on Mondays. Be kind and courteous because it is in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

Even though he drew the ire of Republicans for his role in the Iran-Contra affair, former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger was previously the lawyer who defended the local residents who fought for the open space which is now home to these steep concrete slides. How's that for city trivia? Anyway, I only came upon them when I was looking for Kite Hill Park (review: https://bit.ly/3J65K8I). After I found it, I noticed a very steep path, Acme Alley. I didn't want to scale it with my treadless hiking shoes.

Instead, I made my way down the adjoining community-run garden. There were benches where I could take in the view at particular elevations. Once I made it to the top of the slides, I had a "Sophie's Choice" moment and decided in the moment to slide my aged derrière over the concrete insulated somewhat by a worn piece of cardboard. It wasn't quite the rush I was hoping for, but then again, a young mom was staring at me like I was a pedophile. Could I please have a menopausal moment on my own?

Such a cute and fun little hidden gem tucked away in the middle of a neighborhood in SF. My friends and I had just grabbed some food in the Castro district and noticed that this place was nearby. After about a 15 minute walk up the hill we found this mini park with 2 slides that overlook the city. The pics online showed some people using cardboard to go down the slides, but there wasn't any when we got there which was fine. Fortunately there wasn't a line so we got to go up and down quite a few times.

I would recommend either bringing your own cardboard box or just where clothes that you do not mind getting dirty or damaged since the slide might scuff up your pants. Overall, a fun quick destination if you happen to be nearby.

A precious gem of a park tucked into a hill between homes that includes two slides. Of course we had to try the slides- our ages of 68 doesn't stop us from having fun! We noticed the sign stating adults must be accompanied by children- oops! Although I can't wait to bring the grandkids here. The park is well kept up and in a lovely neighborhood.

A hidden gem that is in a residential area. People are pretty respectful of their cardboard boxes by taking them back once they are done.

Initially it was hard to get going down the slide & I had to move myself down the slide with my feet so fortunately this slide is long enough so that I could actually experience the speed & catch a momentum.

I liked that it wasn't too crowded & the neighbors really take care of their homes & gardens.

Would visit this place again in a heartbeat.

There's not a lot to say about this place. It's a long, high, twisty slide. I was actually quite impressed when I saw it - the slide was much larger than I pictured it in my head prior to coming here today. Not sure how much of a touristy spot one would call this considering how completely out of the way this is from where I personally would go if I were a basic visiting tourist myself. It's a fun place to come and get some adrenaline pumping. The slide down was more fun than I expected and walking back up the steep hill enough times got my heart pumping enough that I would consider it a workout - however, I'm also fat so take that with a grain of salt unlike me who likes lots of salt and that's why I'm fat.

Anyway, Seward Street Slides is a fun place to spend a few minutes at and potentially take the kids to but only if they're not screaming in bloodcurdling terror at the top of the slide like the ones I saw today. Or maybe that makes it more fun for you. Just make sure you're wearing comfortable clothes and take advantage of the cardboard boxes lying around the area and use them as a "platform" to sit on before you go sliding down. You may also want to bring your own spare cardboard boxes as a precaution in case there aren't any already here when you arrive. Otherwise, feel free to slide down without any to protect your butt at your own risk. Be aware that this is a residential area so be mindful of folks living here and keep the peace by not being obnoxiously loud. And finally, this little park is closed on Mondays and closes at the relatively early time of 5pm the rest of the week.

This is like a little hidden gem in SF. It's a very small park in the middle of a neighborhood with very tight streets and limited parking. There are two cement slides, a slight sandbox, if you can call it that, and a few benches.

If you have a vehicle and it fits into your schedule/vicinity, then it is a nice place to stop, but I would not recommend going out of the way, just to check it out.

If you are on a trip and you need a break, but still need to keep the kids entertained, this IS the spot! BUT, I do not recommend large groups, because it is in a residential area and it is expected that you keep the noise level to a minimal.

Looking for a nice place to read; they have a Little Free Library onsite. For those that do not know what that is, here's the link for more info: https://littlefreelibrary.org/.

And, don't forget the cardboard box; you could but I would not recommend you going down the slide without one. An old towel may actually work better.

Brought the kids here because of the stone slide. it's rare to find a place like this in the city but glad we came. The parking is tough because its in a residential area and the park is squeezed into the neighborhood. Nonetheless its a nice spot with a great view of the city.

The kids had a good time going down the slide, although it is quite steep so you might have to ride a couple times down with them. Oh and a tip, you should wear jeans lest there be no cardboard and your pants decide to wear out on you... hahaha

*Closed Monday's! Open Tuesday- Sunday 10 am- 5 pm

Who created this and how do I thank them? Such an incredible gem in the middle of a gorgeous neighborhood.

We parked at Kite Hill open space and walked over. Make sure you check out the views at the park before you grab your cardboard and head down the slide.

The slide is extremely steep but so much fun. Enjoy the thrill of being a kid again.
