So much room to spread out so no one is in your way. Great for meditation or soul searching. It just feels so healing to be in nature! To be surrounded by all this green! The play structure is so nice and new and clean. I climbed up and (slowly) went down the small slide. felt like a kid again. Such happiness, such wonder. So many fond memories here of people I used to come here with. People not in my life anymore. Hope they're doing well

The concert venue is set in a valley between the Parkside and Sunset districts surrounded by trees. A beautiful setting with multiple terraced levels for seating. Lower area meadow with park benches. A raised area with private picnic tables. Beyond that are stone paved terraces and then a grassy sloped seating area. They say 10,000 people when full. Off to the right of the stage There's an overload meadow where you watch the concert on a big screen. We brought our own lunch and wine but there is an abundance of food trucks as well. Long lines at the bathrooms so plan accordingly. Very festive with folks having a great time dancing to the DJ beats before Diana Ross takes the stage. Feeling alive and proud to live in San Francisco. No doom and gloom here unlike what you see too often on social media. When Miss Diana Ross came on stage the entire crowd erupted in cheers and applause for the music legend. She looked fantastic at 81 years young. Her voice as powerful and sensuous as ever. Great sounding band and sound system. Sang her all time favorites and some jazzy blues songs too. One big negative. People lighting up even tho no smoking of any kind is allowed. Kinda frustrating they don't just follow the rules. Even worse the staff or security don't care to ask them to stop.

Great short walk out into the Bay…read more I love discovering these little natural park gem. This looks like a new little park that is great to eat lunch and then take a easy walk on a levee out into the Bay. I saw two great blue herons and a man fishing at the tip of the levee path. Treat yourself to a visit at the plant nursery across the street from the parking lot. There is limited parking here, but plenty of street parking.

However, the setting is offset by atmospheric wetlands that attract a variety of birds that look quite comfortable on the shoreline. The end of the singular trail doesn't offer that much of a payoff unless you like the sight of mammoth cargo ships anchored seemingly permanently in the middle of the bay. There are unexpected sights like a Buddhist altar hidden in a windswept tree grove (photo: https://bit.ly/3wA6hFU) There's also what looks like a dilapidated pier sunken at both ends (photo: https://bit.ly/2UzDJPx). I guess I would be remiss in not mentioning the Eco Center which looks to be a children's education center, although I've never been inside due to COVID restrictions and its limited hours. Normally I'd suggest you walk the footbridge to the newly renovated Hunters Point Shoreline, but pedestrian access points looked to be closed for the rest of 2021. You can still walk around or drive onto Evans to get to the rest of India Basin. RELATED - Lost in Hunters Point? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3AOvRKv

I keep my pup mostly on-leash here unless we are playing fetch or we are training him. We always have poop bags with us and tidy up after he does his business. The park also has this box where people can recycle their plastic bags, so if one doesn't have dog poop bags, they can use those. Garbage can also conveniently located near the entrance for quick disposal. I also see people quietly eating lunch, taking breaks here, so good respite from busy Geary/Clement.

Other times people are out here playing with their dogs. This is also considered a picnic area, and it's a nice place to have one. Convenient location to get to from. It's located pretty close to the Polo Field and some other things in the park. This is a good place to have a party or just chill and whatever.

People would never come from far to visit. Not that there is anything wrong with it - just nothing notable. No real attraction. Green lawns, play area, some party lights one side, some flowers and wild California poppy plants, just the tip of the Salesforce tower and a few other of the tallest towers downtown. The big open lawn is the highlight. People in San Francisco don't have lawn. Many don't even have a yard at all. I've got a lot of space but all rocks and concrete. Tired with taking care of lawn. Come here and enjoy this and you never have to push a mower over it. If you come here I think the best thing to do is to walk up Treat or Harrison street. Once you walk up the little hill you have a view of all of downtown. Sweets didn't really like the walk and he was very slow and took some breaks. I thought it was good for him though. At the top of Harrison there is another little open space park. The area is safe and believe it or not there is a parking spot here and there. At the one end of the park there is a place to get some food. Lawn condition was good. Concrete was cracked and torn up a bit around the edges. Perfect place to play some frisbee with the pooch.

Did you know Carlos Santana comes from Bernal Heights and played in weekend jam sessions at this park in his youth? That would've been roughly fifty years ago, but it gives Precita Park a certain amount of cred as an urban patch of greenery even though it's a relatively small space. It's just three blocks by one block dominated by a playground on the east side. It's a dog walker's delight for sure but also a perfectly decent place to hang out for a spell. It was part of my three-park afternoon in Bernal Heights along with Bernal Heights Park and Holly Park. The other two are on higher ground, but neither offers the Precita Park Cafe nearby to pick up your cafe au lait (review: https://bit.ly/3dV6ygv). That and the Santana connection count for something in my book. RELATED - Looking for greenery in the city? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2P5dHRe
