Youngblood Coleman Playground

This park is definitely a hidden gem. It has a soccer field, baseball diamond, and several newer basketball and tennis courts. It has a small sandbox and some swings too. Best of all there is a HUGE concrete slide! Bring your cardboard!

I love this park! My church meets here once a month at the outdoor amphitheatre. Afterwards, we have a little barbecue and play some basketball, tennis, or just play on the field below. The park has this cool tiered setup, so everything isn’t on the same level. AS another person said, there’s a great view of the water as well as a soccer field with bathrooms. The atmosphere is very chill because I don’t think many people know about this park. It’s pretty much in brand-​new shape, so it’s enjoyable to spend time there. IT’s a great example of what other parks should shoot for.

This park is an absolute gem.
Recently I was on the market for a new apartment and somehow was lucky enough to land a community living situation in a mansion that happens to be RIGHT on this park. Having a dog, I rejoiced.
Not only do we have a HUGE cement slide next to our house should we be too lazy to walk down the stairs to the baseball field, basketball court, tennis courts and soccer field AND a view that absolutely rivals the views from Dolores Park, BUT the community also hosts an amazing M, W, F exercise boot camp that allowed me to meet some of my fantastic new neighbors in the Bayview.
The baseball and soccer lights are left on until 10:30pm most nights, so it’s the ideal place to come to get in that late night game of Ultimate Frisbee while still having optimal parking.
Check this park out. It’s truly a diamond in the rough.

This park is pretty well hidden from view in the Bayview District. It’s a «full» sized soccer pitch, but not really. I can drop-​kick a soccer ball to the opposing team’s penalty area from mine, and I can’t do that on a standard field. This makes for very high scoring soccer games. 11×11 almost seems like too many people for this field.
The artificial turf seems to be a little older FieldTurf than seen in some other city parks and is certainly much firmer. Cleats are almost not called for.
Parking is relatively easy, though I would be a little worried at nighttime about security.
