Julius Kahn Playground is found in the southern border of the scenic Presidio. The playground is not very large, but the equipment here is unique and a lot of fun. The playground is set on top of a large hill, so the scenery is nice. It can be quite windy & chilly here, so be prepared.

There is a section for little kids and a section for older kids. All of the playground equipment is located in the same fenced area. There was a cement water feature. However, the water was not turned on, and I visited in July. If they don't have the water turned on in July, I don't know when they would.
