Pre-dating the Hull House playground in Chicago was the Children's Playground at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, established in 1887 and thought to truly be the nation's first.
In 2007 it underwent a 3.8 million dollar renovation and was renamed the Koret Children's Quarter, featuring a streambed, renovation of the historic hill slide, and 'wave walls'.

Yes, Koret is one of my favorite playgrounds in the city, absolutely brilliant.
