Small but very busy park in a perfect, safe and clean neighborhood…read more I'm not a big fan of artificial man-made dog parks with fake grass. 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!

Solid dog park!…read more -easy parking. The street isn't huge, yet I always find ample spots. -huge park with mixed terrain: big grassy area, some dirt/sandy areas that are great for digging, and the steep hill sides that the dogs can go up and explore between trees & bushes -FULLY GATED!!! I wish we had more of this in SF. Your doggies are full secure here. -actually a decent amount of seating?? Some benches, some picnic tables, some random plastic chairs -stunning views. How lucky are we to have such beautiful views during a casual dog park visit! -my only small complaint is that the dogs often end up doing their own thing and wander around since the park is so large; I find that dogs tend to play more and run around when a park is a little smaller and they're more in each other's space. This is a good or bad thing depending on what you're looking for.

We really enjoy coming to Lafayette Park Playground this morning for an early Easter egg hunting…read moreevent--it's quite unique compared to other playgrounds in the city. The layout is more challenging and perfect for little explorers who love to climb, balance, and stay active. My 3-year-old always finds something new to do, and it keeps them engaged for a long time. I also appreciate that babies aren't left out--there are designated areas where younger kids can safely play too. The restroom is conveniently located and clean, which is a big plus for families. That said, some of the rocky edges can be a bit risky for adventurous kids, so it's definitely a place where you'll want to keep a close eye on them at all times. The only downside is parking--it can be pretty tough to find a spot, especially during busy times. Overall, it's a fun and exciting playground that's great for kids of different ages, as long as you're prepared for a bit of supervision and a parking hunt!

What you lose in challenging elevation changes, you gain in stunning views and greenery. Lafayette…read morepark is an iconic location in San Francisco and a place that serves regular park goers, those who want to play tennis, those with kids, as well as our four legged friends. The park is beautifully maintained, with clean walking paths, manicured gardens, and enough benches and seating spaces. You can easily find a little corner to make your own for a bit. There is a rather large and modern kids playground and even more large grassy areas, both for those who want to lounge and for the dogs that want to run around. Overall, Lafayette Park is yet another gem that makes San Francisco special.

It was great to stop by and train my pup for the first time in agility equipment :) The equipment is good for training but there isn't a lot of room for dog play unless they are small dogs. I wouldn't really say this is a dog park, maybe enough for 3 small or 2 medium/large dogs. Not sure how many people train their dogs here. When I was there, there were 3 locals that walked with their dog quickly past the dog park, not even taking a second glance. The equipment is pretty good, only one of them was cracked/needs a replacement. Parking in the street was easy to find.

San Francisco parks usually have amazing views and this is no exception. What's interesting about this park is that it's largely funded by a local nonprofit working with our city's park and recreation. It has amazing views. And besides a playground, it also offers a community garden, picnic areas and an off-leash play area for dogs. With sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Ghirardelli Square, Aquatic Cove, etc, you can picnic here with your gourmet sandwiches from North Beach and dim sum from Chinatown. Just to give you an idea. Haha. But do bring a jacket as it can be cold or just windy. My pup and I have been here on a few occasions and we loved playing here. Located in the middle bordered by Hyde, Larkin, Francisco and Bay Streets.
