Animals in the Park

Koret Playground
Golden Gate Park

There are five of these cast stone creatures in the new Koret Childrens Area of Golden Gate Park.  They are the second public art project that Vicki Saulls did in San Francisco.  The first you can view here.

The playground underwent a major renovation with generous funding from the Koret Foundation and reopened in 2007 as the Koret Children’s Quarter. New features include a climbing wall shaped like waves and a rope climbing structure; the historic concrete slide was retained.  The landscape Architect on the project was MIG.
