Everyone loves Golden Gate Park and Dolores Park, but did you know San Francisco has over 220 parks and open spaces? Curbed SF wants to bring fame and glory to some of the smaller, lesser-known parks, and we're doing so with Park Life. Each week we'll spotlight a different San Francisco park or open space, and bring you all the details you need to plan a visit.

What it features: Tennis and basketball courts, baseball diamonds, a community center, playground.
How to get there: 27-Bryant -- 26th and Bryant Streets; walk east two blocks to the park.
