In Chan Kaajal is a Mayan phrase that means “My Little Town” or
“My Little Village” and gives a nod to both the Mission District's
cultural roots and the park’s community focus.
Located at 17th and Folsom streets, the 31,850-square-foot park
is packed with amenities for people of all ages. There’s a large
central lawn with an amphitheater; a children’s play area with
interactive water features; an adult fitness zone; a community
garden and drought-tolerant landscaping that provides habitat
for wildlife. In Chan Kaajal Park gives families and friends a fun,
beautiful and safe place to play, exercise and catch some fresh air.
Working closely with Rec and Park, Public Works provided
design, engineering and construction management services.
