Start planning your next weekend hangout!
Whether you stop by Parklab Gardens and SPARK Social SF for a quick cup of boba, or you spend all day mini-golfing on the only outdoor course in the City, you’d be hard pressed not to have fun. We love this spot for the great environment and food options, but what’s really caught our eye are the giant tipis available to rent by the hour, complete with comfy couches and TVs! Parklab Gardens and SPARK Social SF are 2 different parks that have joined forces, just across the street from each other.
There’s a variety of spaces you may rent at this enormous park, including lawn areas, fire pits, Adirondack chairs, cabanas, and bungalows. There are also prices for renting larger sections of the park (i.e. 1 bungalow and 2 cabanas), or even the whole park in its entirety. Here’s a breakdown of our favorites.
