295 Day StA nice playground. It also has tennis courts, a baseball field and an indoor playspace.
Tiny little park, a couple blocks from the house. It has a few swings, a slide and some monkey bars. Nice if you need to take children outside for a bit, but don't want to go too far.

Food Scene
A little too hip now after winning the best burrito in the U.S. by 538. Lines are typically crazy. Pro tip: call ahead of time, and walk to pick it up, skipping the line.

Great place to go on Saturday morning with children. They have live music (typically), and a nice play area for the children. No need to go to the Ferry Building to experience a typical SF farmers market.

Shopping
An incredibly inspirational garden store. There is a Ritual Coffee inside. The gardens have these amazing heated outdoor benches, so you can get lost in the greenery while drinking your coffee. Afterwards, you can head across the street to All Good Pizza for some outdoor pizza for lunch.
