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.

These pieces were commissioned by the SFAC for $54,000 in the 2007 budget year.

The kids must love these.
These are just great. I wish more public parks would use cast stone creatures like this in playscapes.
So cool! Kids must go wild. 🙂
