Mountain Lake Park is a San Francisco city park that's an awesome place to bring the kiddos. There's swings, slides and things to climb, all tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.

Mountain Lake also holds historical significance. This was campsite #95 for the Juan Bautista de Anza colonizing expedition. The members visited this site in March, 1776.
