Lafayette Park
Pacific Heights in San Francisco boasts of two parks, Lafayette and Alta Plaza, which are walking distance to each other. Lafayette Park boasts a storied history that has shaped its captivating landscape. Originating from the visionary Van Ness Ordinances of 1856-1858, which marked the annexation of the Western Addition into San Francisco, Lafayette Park was named after the revered Marquis de Lafayette, a French hero of the American Revolution. The park was revitalized through a $10 million investment from the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, culminating in a renewed Lafayette Park that stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication of San Francisco's citizens and organizations like Friends of Lafayette Park.
The playground is suited for kids of all ages with towers and bridges for older kids and mounds and water play for younger ones. Take a moment to take in the 360 city views from the top!
