This is such a gem of a park in the Sunset District. A lovely green space for dog walkers,…read morefamilies, runners and not forgetting it evolves into a concert stadium for the annual Stern Grove Festival, bringing in thousands of people together to enjoy music and the park. Had a lovely walk this morning enjoying bathing in nature and observing plants and animals all around. This park has a little lake, a new upgraded climbing structure and 4 pickle ball courts which needs to be booked through Park and Rec. There is a big carpark as you enter on Vale and toilets are located in the clubhouse and by the stage. From the outside, it's hard to envision this oasis as you walk down to the grove surrounded by tall eucalyptus trees. Grateful to have this park nearby to enjoy!!!

I have driven past this park 1 million times on 19th St., and I never knew what it was! I was so…read moresurprised to find this hidden gem! We went in the main entrance on the corner of 19th and something else, but it was very hectic and busy! The hill was pretty steep to push a stroller down, And my nephews complained about the steep hill, but they also don't hike. I didn't think it was very steep where your body would hurt. But I hike. Lol anyways, that area opened up to a little parking lot and a great stage area with huge steps to play on and run around. On the backside, there was a huge hillside, filled with beautiful eucalyptus trees, and the smell Was amazing and enchanting! We kept walking and found an open meadow area, and then a spot where you could take your dogs off leash! Sadly, both sets of bathrooms were closed, but it was a holiday weekend, so maybe that's why? There was also a sandy spot and you could watch ducks come in and out of the lake! I will definitely go back here again! I'll just make sure I go to the bathroom before hand! It's also right down the street from the mall so I was able to use the bathroom there.

Good but small, has water dog poop bags no toys. Please pickup after your dog then all good.read more

This park are for the lazy dog owners who live 20ft away and don't really want to walk their dogs…read morebut instead going to a place where they can let the dogs freely roam around for a quick minute while sitting on the bench lazy watching the dogs. This park is the size of a regular property. Basically the neighborhood or the city decided instead of building a house why not just leave it untouched, add some grass, some fence and call it a dog park. Don't come here. Don't be lazy. If you love your dog get yo ass up and actually take them on a big 1 hour hike or go to Upper Douglass Dog park for an hour. Or give the dog away if you can't find time for your dog.

This is a cute little lake, more like a pond which is about .5 miles to walk around. It's really…read morepeaceful, calm, and great for birdwatching as there are a lot of birds and waterfowl around. Since it's rather short for a hike, it's best to walk past the dog park and add on the trails with Stern Grove. Lake Merced is about a mile away and while the walk is through city streets, it's a way to experience 2 lakes. It's a good place to explore if you've been to every lake at Golden Gate Park and want to discover something different though the traffic on the 19th can get intense, it's more suited if you live in the nearby vicinity or are already doing something in the area like going to Stonestown, SF State, the zoo, etc.

DOG WALKERS BEWARE! YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE…read more The private owners who come to this park will report you for the smallest infraction. The park itself is small and dirty. There is NO clean space it is all dirt and mud. It is poorly maintained, the DPW is responsible for this area NOT parks and Rec. and they do literally nothing. It is the private owners in the neighborhood who do all the cleaning and maintenance. Most of the private owners are chill, but there is a distinct avoidance of their responsibility to clean up their dog droppings. At times, the place can be a literal sh*t show. It doesn't help that when more than two dogs walkers are there at any one time, the place becomes way too crowded and I guarantee you will leave with sh*t on your shoes. wait.... I meant to say even when the park is empty, you will leave with sh*t on your shoes. There is ALWAYS several out of control dogs or dog guardians at this filthy hell hole. It used to be a nice place several years ago, now it is sadly an open sewer frequented by the homeless and thoughtless. There is no water inside the park and the fountain outside is filthy. I've found human feces, mud and assorted other stuff in it NEVER let your dogs drink from it unless you want a huge vet bill. Speaking of vet bills, unless a good Samaritan private owner pulls the weeds.. (again DPW does less than nothing), the place gets infested with fox tails every spring and summer. Ticks? yes. Fleas? Yes. Ghiardia? Yes. If you hate yourself and hate your dogs, this is the park for you.

Great because it's not crowded, easy parking, and lots of shade. Also, it's fenced in, while some…read moredog parks aren't. So, for dogs who like to run away, this is a great spot to let them run and explore, but not get away. It's a bit dusty and dirty, so your pup may come away a bit dirty but... that's not so bad, right?

There's a baseball field and a seesaw, slide, etc. Plus, the parking is convenient and I never had an issue with finding a spot. The bad- The rubber turf is falling apart. There are so many holes that my toddler keeps tripping and falling on them! I can't tell if other kids are just ripping them up because the holes are larger than the size of my hand or because they keep falling into them too. This is a big safety issue and one of the main reasons why we don't come here as often anymore. Another unfortunate thing that happened was we witnessed a fight here (amongst adults) once on the field and it was weird. They were also bbqing and brought their own grill. Not sure if that's even a thing you could do here but yeah...definitely felt uncomfortable!

I mean... why fake grass if you can give your dogs the real experience instead of touching plastic with their paws.... anyways that's another topic. This dog park is small but gets very busy. Most people are residents or live nearby. If you're not sure where to find a lot of dogs for yours to play with, this park might just be it. Watch out. Because it's fake grass, even if the owners pick up the poop it'll leave doodooo residuals EVERYWHERE on the grass.

We love Mission Bay Dog Park!…read more The dog park itself is a long rectangle situated between apartment buildings in the Mision Bay area. The park is covered primarily in astroturf and includes two fire hydrants, some benches, a three port water fountain, and 3 poop bag dispensers (one on each end and one in the middle). The park itself is pretty much always clean. Many of the dogs are from the neighborhood so there are a lot of regular. Practically all the owners we have met are also pretty nice. If you're driving to the park, there is a ton of parking in the area. Only downside is that meters in Mission Bay go until 10pm, but that's no fault of the park. The park is open from 6am until 10pm and we have found that the best time to go is in the morning before work or in the later evening, post 8pm. The park can be especially busy right after working hours and, for us, we try not to go during this time. We love this park and go to it almost daily!
