Rolph Playground

Park Overview

Rolph Playground is a community park located in San Francisco, California. Situated at the intersection of Potrero Avenue and Cesar Chavez Street, it occupies an angular pocket in the city's Potrero district. The park is named after James Rolph, a former mayor of San Francisco.

Facilities and Features

The playground has undergone significant renovations to transform it into a dynamic community center. It features a variety of facilities catering to different age groups and interests.

The park includes both a children's play area and athletic fields, making it popular among families and sports enthusiasts alike.

The Clubhouse

One of the notable features of Rolph Playground is its clubhouse, a green building located within the park grounds. The clubhouse has been expanded and renovated to include additional multi-use rooms and an enlarged exercise room.

These improvements allow for a wider range of indoor activities and community programs.

Outdoor Improvements

The outdoor areas of the park have also seen substantial upgrades. The renovation project included changes to the children's playground and landscape areas adjacent to the clubhouse.

A paseo (walkway) between Hampshire Street and Potrero Avenue was created, serving as a public promenade. This addition gives a more park-like feel to the site and creates a sense of place for visitors.

Accessibility

To enhance accessibility, an ADA-compliant ramp has been constructed, replacing an old sloped ramp next to the building. The park also features improved drainage systems and repaved areas to better manage surface water.
