You probably know the story of how SF Mayor Moscone was killed: shot by former police officer Dan…read moreWhite in the Mayor's office November 27, 1978. But did you know: Dianne Feinstein, then President of the Board of Supervisors, was the person who first discovered Moscone's body. Feinstein was later sworn in as the city's new mayor (White employed the famous 'Twinkie Defense' and was only charged with 'manslaughter')...so it's kind of interesting to wonder where Senator Feinstein would be without that gruesome murder, isn't it? And have you paused to check on some of her votes in Congress, lately? http://feinstein.senate.gov/allvotes.html For someone who supposedly suckles at the liberal teat, her politics kind of stink of Red-State thinking these days... But I digress... This park is the 'activity' and sports park for the Marina and the adjoining areas - there is a sandlot playground for tots, and a big grassy area used for soccer and 4 softball/ baseball 'diamonds' with backstops. There's also a sort of chipping green, a batting 'cage'/ net, and 4 tennis courts. Place is popular after work with various sloshball leagues and whatnot, so plan accordingly. Moscone loses a star for the crowds and for the fact that, as one of the few places in SF where there's a public court that attracts ballers for a semi-regular pick-up run, the facilities aren't really that great...which leads me to the all-important basketball portion of this review... The hoops situation is erratic. There is a court on the east/ Laguna side that (to me) has a nicer surface, but usually has scrub games. The better runs are on the West/ Webster St. side, which is lighted, allowing after-hours ball. Try after work and in the AM on the weekend. There's usually a wait of some sort and can be a lot of smack being talked (standard). There's also a small and rather shabby 'Rec Center' building on Chestnut, which actually has a hoops court inside. But the place is weird: it's almost never open and even if you get in there, one of the rims is like 9'6" and the other is like 11', and it's dimly lit, so basically its useless. Basketball Jonze

In need for a little good old-fashioned game of catch, my boyfriend and I dug out our baseball…read moregloves (mine still had field dirt embedded in the straps from high school softball - ha!) and headed down to Moscone park to throw the ball around for awhile. The fields here are impeccably landscaped and the grass is glorious. I wanted to just lay down in it for awhile, but I was too busy fielding grounders and whipping some mean pitches. There is plenty of room to share with the fellow ballplayers, dog walkers, and little kids rolling around in the grass. Hooray for parks. And should you decide to play some catch & it's been awhile, watch out the next morning... when I woke up my arm felt like it had died. Lol.

Half of the field is for soccer and the other half has two baseball diamonds across from each other. The entire field is astro turf which is a rarity- for as long as we've been going to practices & games i don't think we've ever played on one. This is a good thing considering the holes and divets that develop on regular fields, less chances of getting hurt. The field is nestled between the highway and residential area. Parking is very scarce, fortunately I didn't have too much trouble with parking THIS time. Public restrooms are not available from what I can tell. There is plenty of bleacher sitting if your watching baseball here. Update- I'm happy to report there is one public restroom near the tennis courts, across from the playground. Unfortunately, as of this writing there are no paper towels or air drying machine to dry your hands with. Nor is there a baby changing station.

AP Giannini Middle School is next to it, so weekdays they would have PE classes around there. I normally play at 7ish AM where the court is still a little wet from fog or what not, however, these are the driest courts I've been to. At around 9ish, these super good senior citizens tennis players would come out and whoop on me. lol Their unorthodox playing REALLY throws you off but they are fun and competitive. SO i would recommend coming to these courts AND playing against the seniors lol

Staff is always friendly and helpful. I only play pickleball here so can't speak to the tennis side of things, but the pickleball experience is top notch. Shout-out to Joel if you're taking lessons. Patient, clear, actually makes you better. Try to get him if you can. If you are a complete newbie, a clinic or group class is helpful. Beyond that, I think they are a bit overpriced for what you get. Instructors are good but with that many people on a court, you don't get individual attention. They recently started offering smaller-group lessons which seems like a better format. Now the asterisk. Reservations are basically impossible. Booking opens at 12:30pm and courts are gone in, not an exaggeration, one second. Again, I'm not exaggerating. And even if you click at exactly 12:30:00, you still might not get one. I've also heard the owners aren't fans of pickleball and aren't planning to add more courts, which if true is a bummer because the demand is obviously there. Honestly the reservation thing is so bad I went back and forth on whether this should be four stars. But the place itself is so great, maybe it's just a victim of its own success. If you CAN get a reservation, it's unbeatable.

I had high hopes about trying this program again, and my experience with the coaches was positive…read more Unfortunately, my final class was rained out and rescheduled for the following week. I signed up based on the original schedule, and the cancellation was completely outside of my control. When I couldn't attend the rescheduled class, I was told I would forfeit the class without any exception or credit. I understand that businesses need policies, but I was disappointed by the lack of flexibility in a situation caused by weather and a schedule change initiated by the organization. A one-time exception or make-up option would have gone a long way. This rating does not reflect the quality of the coaches, who were great. The 3 stars are due to the rigidity of the scheduling and attendance policies.

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!

Seeing as I don't have any children and don't play any sports, there's really not much for me to do here. I would come out here and read, but the field is always dotted with little piles of doggie poop and all the benches are usually occupied by drunk homeless dudes. To be fair, not all the homeless dudes are drunk. And not all the drunk dudes are homeless. But I've gotten leered at and "sweetie"d and "hey, beautiful"d enough times to be a tad wary of the place. My dog makes a lousy bodyguard because she thinks they all smell interesting and likes to stop and say hello. (On second thought, maybe she's the one they "sweetie"d haha!) On a day when the weather is nice and the drunken leering is at a minimum, my boyfriend and I like to take our dog here and play a mad game of fetch. This is her heaven -- running with wild abandon, kicking up dirt, chasing some round thing -- it's pure bliss. Uneasy as it makes me, this is her happy place and that's good enough for me. Plus the drunk dudes are there less and less, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I'm grateful for this patch of green, but please clean it up!
