This week Melissa’s Mixtape is for an afternoon at the park. With predicted warm and sunny weather, it’s the perfect time to visit Golden Gate, Alamo Square, Dolores or one of the many other lovely neighborhood parks for an afternoon. These songs are perfect for bike riding, walking, playing on the playground, swinging, skipping, picnicking or taking care of your community garden plot. There’s no better season to grab some friends and head outside for a taste of San Francisco’s wonderful greenery.
