About

Sun Valley Playground is a community neighborhood park serving the south San Antonio Sun Valley area. It's an honest, straightforward neighborhood playground , free, accessible, and reliable for the families who live in the 78227 zip code and surrounding south side communities.

The playground equipment serves kids ages 2-10 with standard climbing and play structures. Open 5AM to 11PM, it offers flexibility for morning workouts, after-school energy burns, and evening sessions after the Texas sun cools down.
