Not just for kids: Fun at Seward Street slides

Sylvia Lehnen

NOTE: Heard from friends that the area around the slides is trashed and that the slides are closed! I’ll update when they (hopefully) reopen.

Finding hidden stairways is a great San Francisco pastime and these stairs really are pretty hidden. What’s unique about them is that you don’t have to walk all the steps; just slide between the upper and lower level. At the top you’ll find a lush garden that’s maintained by the neighborhood, while the concrete slides in the lower portion are definitely from another time. Hint: Bring plastic trays for the fastest ride. It’s a great treat for kids and at the end a day of sightseeing, shopping, or eating in the Castro or in Noe Valley.

Sometimes you stumble across the most amazing places. You get a tip from a fellow traveller. Or you're lucky enough to have local friends share their secrets.

This blog is about those places — beyond the top-10 attractions and far away from the crowds, the malls, and the theme parks.

Enjoy my favorite places. And please share yours!
