    My dogs love this park. There's a large grass fields that a lot of the dog owners gather around from early afternoon to sundown everyday so the dogs can play freely. It makes for a great dog park. I would just say if you plan to bring your dogs here, keep a tight watch on them as it is not fenced or gated. Still, the other doggies and mine love it. There are regulars who come to this park daily so it's more of a community too. Have fun!

    Another super dope event held by SF Parks and Alliance. They giving out these prints for a good cause for our parks and it's only a 5 dollar donation which is super cool and helps out our parks and rebuilds more parks for our use. Make sure to check out their website and give them a follow on IG for upcoming events

    A totally San Francisco park. It's got nothing for tourists: no museums like Golden Gate Park, it wasn't on TV like Alamo Square, no views like Twin Peaks. But it's several blocks of green green grass, a few clumps of trees here and there, surrounded by old SF housing. It's a popular dog park. Lots of room for them to run around. None of the streets are busy, so if they get into the road, cars aren't speeding maniacally, unable to stop from hitting them. Not coincidentally, my first time here was for a K-9 show during Fleet Week. Make sure Spot is under voice command if he's off leash. I didn't see any picnic tables, so bring your own setup. There might be some on the west end, I don't know. Because it's wide open, it's good for football or volleyball games. Duboce Park is a good place for City dwellers to check out.

    I was early for my PT appointment at CPMC and decided to take a walk in the adjacent Duboce Park. It a two block long park that borders Scott and Steiner streets and Duboce Avenue. The north side of the park borders up against neighborhood homes. There were many dog walkers as the southeast section is a multi-use area allowing for off-leash for dogs. The west section is a children's play area with swings, play structures and a sand area with a basketball court next to it. In the middle of the park is the public lawn area for use by people where no dogs are allowed. A fair amount of people were in the park for a late weekday morning. A nice park for the neighborhood.

    If you read that literary classic, "Go, Dog. Go!" by Dr. Seuss, then surely you must realize canines like to play in packs. Big dog. Little dog. Red dog. Blue dog. Then there was the palpable sexual tension between the French poodle and the dalmatian: "Do you like my hat?", "No, I do not." / "Goodbye", "Goodbye". Shakespearean-inspired dialogue that resonated like emotional haiku (video: http://bit.ly/2oyVA8C). I think for non-dog owners like Jamie W. and me, Duboce Park represents that Seussian world of cavorting dogs who run back and forth over the green expanse (photo: http://bit.ly/2pBOBvH). My recent favorite was a dachshund named Dash who needed training wheels to help support his misshapen back legs as he scampered around (photo: http://bit.ly/2pkBNXw). Frankly they were all entertaining even when their bored-looking hipster owners would be indifferently using their dog ball throwing stick in one hand while texting in the other. Lassie would have never put up with such entitlement. Regardless, it was nice to sit on the bench watching all the activity as the N-Judah train rolls by in both directions near sunset. Humans, at least the ones savvy enough to know not to sit among the fecal matter (canine or otherwise), are relegated to the west of the park where there is a grassy mound for urban picnicking (photo: http://bit.ly/2pokCq3). It's really a nice little park that could use a few more trees in the middle. But more importantly, do you like my hat? Say what? Goodbye!

    Enjoying a sunset picnic at Duboce park. Lots of good dog watching.

    Duboce Park along with the neighboring Duboce Park Landmark District is like a little slice of heaven to me. I truly believe this small park has something for everyone too. Pedestrians can enjoy the nice paths that wind through the park and into the neighborhood with benches to rest along the way. There is also a very conveniently located Muni line right at the edge of the park so you can enjoy the scenery while you wait. Dogs owners and dogs alike come to this park by the dozens to socialize around sunset. Kids can enjoy the playground and Parents frequently throw kid's birthday parties in the afternoon on weekends. The community center at the edge of the park also hosts many events such as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence 40th anniversary party. I have also seen folks from the Leather community practicing with leather whips. Everything here perfectly co-exists (+ exemplifies what I love about SF!) and picnickers like myself can enjoy hanging out at the top of the hill and taking it all in.

    Dogfest every year is here. 2016.

    PARK: The grass is quite well kept I must admit especially for California being in a drought. As for it being a dog park, I am not so sure because it's not completely fenced in at all. This means that there is no way I can let my dog off-leash because he will end up running into the street, never to be seen again. OTHER: There is a water fountain with two varying heights for humans, and one low fountain for dogs although it does not shoot up the water. I also think during hot days the water is warm/hot because my dog refused to drink it. DOGFEST: McKinley Elementary school holds a fundraiser event called "Dogfest" every year that I've been to for three straight years. They have various vendors with informational booths. Some of them give out little trinkets and marketing materials. They hold a dog contest, but each category you enter is $10 plus a $20 registration fee. Each year they have a Dogfest T-shirt you can purchase with a different design each year. Mostly this event is best suited for children with carnival games setup. Food is your basic hot dog cotton candy carnival type food. One bad part is that there isn't much shade and for whatever reason every year it has been in the 70's and sunny so it can get almost too hot to where you start sweating out here. Too bad they can't have one of those huge big overarching tents. I feel like every year I come there are less and less vendors. OVERALL: It's an A-OK park in my book so three stars it is. It is San Francisco so parking is a challenge. You end up having to circle around and around to find a spot that isn't blocking someone's driveway.

    One of my favorite parks in the city. Much quieter and cleaner than the Missions Dolores park, this is the spot my fiance and I love to come to on a nice sunny afternoon. Located conveniently right off the wiggle (we usually ride our bikes) this park is full of plenty of benches to sit on and great dog watching (note to other - DO NOT come here if you don't like dogs, or if your dog doesn't get along with others, most are off leash). Grab some lunch around the corner at one of the shops on Haight street (maybe a few beers) and have yourself a lovely afternoon picnic here.

    If you're a two-legged friend looking for a nice patch of grass to eat a picnic on, just go to the taller hill. The bottom part of the park is a doggie heaven, with four-legged cuties running off lease and having the time of their lives! We came around 7pm and there were plenty of dogs roaming the area. The park is blocked off from the train tracks with a cement fence and there are water foundations at perfect doggie height. Took my shy/cautious puppy to Duboce on the way home from work (the N-Judah line stops right in front!) and he absolutely had a blast. We took a seat at one of the many benches and just let him drag his leash around as he started exploring. Other dogs would come by and they would do their bro-sniff thing and run off to play. I've literally NEVER seen my puppy run that far away from me before. He's always been too shy to stray far, but he completely jumped into cloud 9. Other dog owners are friendly and they'll leave you alone unless you initiate conversations. No one tries to break dogs apart; everyone just watches their dogs from a short distance to make sure it's just play. We all had a great time and he didn't growl once while he was there, so huge step up in social skills!

    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!

    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!

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.
