Currently there are some temporary fences - and some renovations being done either in the park or at the edge of the park. Not the best time to visit. The general area is beautiful. I stopped by yesterday for a phone call appointment with the kid brother at 7pm. I was driving north to Russian River for Pliny Season and just happened to be at around that time. there are views and boats and sandy volleyball courts and water fountains for dogs - very nice. I talked with the kid brother about the unending mystery - a story involving our friend. It is a story revolving around red flags and suspicious events and no answers. There is a foul smell revolving around the whole story and the more one learns of the event the more questions one has. Our phone call ended in more confusion than when we started and when he hung up he sounded like he was going to do more phone calls and digging immediately after we hung up. I suspect he did as I got some call the next day from a person I hadn't heard from in 10 years. A great place to walk, or look at the bay or make a phone call I suppose. read more

Such a nice/large park, my hubby and I brought our youngest along as well as our puppy and enjoyed our visit! When the sun is blazing and you're looking for a break in the shade, relax under a tree. I would recommend this park, they have sporting areas, including a beach volleyball court and restrooms! We'll return with our eldest! SYOY! :-) read more

Cute basic park. The parking lot was tough as it has one dead end requiring more than a 3-point turn. It was a pleasant, laid-back vibe. I did not find it grungy or dirty as other reviews make it out to be. There is a small sandy area several feet from the "beach." The water is fairly rocky and not sandy. Nevertheless, my 5 year olds thoroughly enjoyed playing in the sand, hauling water from the beach to the sand and I highly appreciated the short walk from the lot to the "beach." There is a small 2 stall bathroom which was relatively clean and had run out of toilet paper by the time we arrived around 4p. The best part is the lack of sand and short walk to/from the water made it easy to clean up & leave rather than track sand everywhere! read more

It's not the most incredible park, but it's a level patch of green looking out to the "beach" and a nice alternative to the urban bench areas. Even websites refer to the "beach" with quotation marks. The "beach" is actually a strip of sand with the square footage of a single-car garage, with a single-entry point, but it's kind of ghetto-charming. For a recreational park with a lawn, the only shade is basically coming from the one-star reviews. I reckon the locals wake up early to grab one of the three or so remaining trees. There's also a white gazebo (which can be rented* from $26-58) for photo ops. Not bad for a small parcel of land at the southern edge of the WW2 Marinship Shipyard that, until the 60s, was used informally as the town dump, where people would meet and socialize as the rummaged for goodies. By 1970, residents raised about 600K to keep the city from using the newly cleaned-up land for apartments. Please check my photos for a 360 degree view. Best of all it has a sand volleyball court and bocce courts, both rentable* for $16 (Non-profit), $26 (Resident), $37 (Non-Resident), and $47 (Commercial). *rentals suspended during Covid-19 (or Covid-29 for non-residents). read more

Dunphy Park - 360 degree - Parks Near Me - Sausalito, California

Newly remodeled park on the water in Sausalito with free parking. It's a good place to maybe launch a kayak or a standup paddleboard. Also, there are three brand new bocce courts which are available first come first serve, which is really cool plus public restrooms if needed. read more

Just moved to Sausalito a few months ago and was delighted by this small park off bridgeway. We've met up with friends here, launched our kayaks and paddle boards from the small beach and our pup meets all sorts of cute furry friends here. There's a tent encampment that's popped up but it's so clean in comparison to the ones we're used to in Oakland and SF that we hardly notice, nor does it feel unsafe or disruptive. I took off one star for the broken glass that either washes up from sea or is left on the rocky part of the beach. If you are into water sports, make sure to check the tides. When it's low tide the sand becomes sticky mud, making it hard to walk in/out. Overall a beautiful park with other activities built in like bocce courts and volleyball! (There is also a very clean touchless restroom). read more

Dunphy Park attracts a lot of drunken derelicts, homeless and druggies, especially after 5PM. The city does a good job trying to keep the park clean but there often is trash overflowing from trash bins, rats and BBQ remnants (bones, debris, beer cans, etc.). Beware of: * The smell, as people urinate and defecate all over the place - trees, bushes, etc. - and the park can smell wretched. * The trash bins are often overflowing and/or there are unclosed trash bags sitting next to trash bins. This problem has become worse with the new bocce courts. * Due to all the trash, there are rats everywhere, especially over by the Gazebo. * Someone drops off boxes of old bread, bananas, etc. that sit rotting in open boxes attracting rats and flies for days at a time. * Homeless people sleep in the BBQ pit and leave behind all sorts of trash and debris. * People cook on hibachis and drink along the fence by the gazebo at night and rarely clean up after themselves The park is dirty and more than likely poses a health hazard due to the unkempt people who hang out and sleep in the park and nasty, reeking trash, debris and rats that are all over the place. read more

Dunphy park sits along the water in sausalito, on bridgeway between Napa St and Litho St. The good things are the view of richardson bay and the Gazebo. There is also a beach volleyball court and a lawn bowling court. What could be better is that most of the time the place could use a good lawn mowing, and also the grass is damp and soggy most of the winter and spring. This park is best used as a quick stop for a view and maybe a snack, read more

Dont bring your children and Beware; they load up the place with herbicides.. yaknow pesticides that give people cancer and kill people. They ruined the park cut down all the historical elder trees and now there is no shade.. they practically killed the mother willow tree and sausalito means willow.. they put an ugly bathroom blocking the view also and took out the wonderful waterspout and put a huge parking lot that covered more than a third of the old park than they replaced the great spout that nourished the historical sailors and left them with a nasty toilet drinking fountain next to the bathroom.. also they never finished the beach area and it looks like shit read more

Holy moly, why have I not come here before?! Walked past a million times, but never until today did I venture in. Lush grass, a few small hills... and the best part - a perfect swimming spot for the pooch! No mud like MV dog park, a nice gentle "ramp" down to the pretty clean-looking water. Woooo! read more

Nice park, kinda small but it gets the job done for a picnic, nap or hanging out with friends. The views are quite beautiful as well!

Maybe things have improved since the negative reviews here, but this is a great park - we love having it right across the street from where we live. Our dogs love it most of all, with lots of grass to run around on, and a perfect little waterfront for them to take a dip in the bay. I've only lived here a few months, but there's always a ton of activity going on here with people using the sand volleyball court and the bocce lanes, or just sitting around enjoying the great view or having BBQ's. Then there's the little farmer's market on Sundays. We personally don't have an issue with the homeless that hang out here - they're always very friendly and don't leave much of a mess. The park is kept pretty clean and has dog bags available in case you forgot yours. It's just a great little park to have nearby. read more

This is a pretty good park; the best part about it is the view of the boats out on the water. It has a small shore kids and dogs can play in. The grassy part itself isn't that great but a good relaxing spot to enjoy the water! read more

Nice park on Bridgeway on the water, they have lots of benches and some shade, we made a little picnic and walked over from Mollie Stones. There were some homeless guys hanging out in the shade but we never felt threatned or anything by them. They also have a farmers market on sundays. read more

This park does NOT have restrooms! that is something fundamental to a park and it is missing! I suppose that is because of all the homeless folks there all the time. This afternoon the homeless dudes seemed harmless enough but were smoking cigarettes that the rest of us got to enjoy smelling! the parking there is a dusty gravel lot with limited spaces. The Bridgeway traffic is thick, noisy and smelly. the grass is real uneven. On the plus side, at least you have access to the bay waters in one small area. and there is some kind of basic water fountain hidden on the western edge. i didnt dare try it tho. read more

I agree with all of the reviews about the lawn and the gargage, a little embarrassing for such a beautiful community to allow the matainence of what we do have go to hell. The city denies our bay walk and then let's what we do have get destroyed..... read more
