San Francisco just released its annual park rankings of all the different parks around the city based on hundreds of different criteria, and here are the best and worst parks in the city. The lowest scoring park was Kid Power Park in the Mission. Had great maintenance scores. The issue with the park according to the study is that it's really close to the 16th Street BART station in the Mission, which apparently led to a bunch of overnight break-ins after park hours. And as you can see below, the highest scoring parks are dispersed throughout the northern and southeastern portions of the city, with the highest marks going to Fulton Playground in Richmond. Do you guys agree with these? Let me know in the comments, and if you want the full report, the link is in the description.
