Natural Exploration Area (NEA)

The Nature Exploration Area features climbing and balancing structures, a woven den and carved logs — using repurposed logs and stumps from the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.

This latest addition to the Randall Museum offers kids the freedom to climb, explore, and let their imaginations lead the way, building confidence and developing a lasting appreciation for the world around them.

We gratefully acknowledge collaboration and support from San Francisco Children and Nature, San Francisco Recreation & Parks and many generous individuals and families who generously partnered to make the 2026 building of the Nature Exploration Area possible.
