Kids can get down and dirty while connecting with nature at a new, outdoor play area that just opened at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park.

The San Francisco Model Yacht Club is celebrating 12 decades of miniature sailing this weekend with a public festival.

The still-unsolved arson caused more than $1 million in damage.

The ruined playground is estimated to be demolished shortly, and rebuilt by the end of March.

One of the country's oldest playgrounds was torched by an arsonist in June.
