Historic
Larsen Park
Since 1927
Carl Larsen Park is a 6.6-acre (2.7 ha) neighborhood park located in the Parkside District on the West Side of San Francisco. It lies west of 19th Avenue, at the intersection with Vicente, and just north of Stern Grove. The park is named for Carl Larsen, a chicken rancher, who donated the land for the park to the City in 1926.
Why it's on the map
The park was built under the supervision of John McLaren and opened in 1927.
A US$1,000,000 (equivalent to $1,380,000 in 2025) fundraising effort, including US$150,000 (equivalent to $207,000 in 2025) for a jet-inspired playground sculpture, culminated in a re-dedicated playground which opened on November 21, 2015.
