    Absolutely amazing! Love this park as it is perfect for kids and adults. Also love the Precita park cafe which has great food and ice cream. Everyone at this park is super friendly and is a very nice spot a lot of locals go to.

    Precita Park is quite alright. From the Mission if you head up towards Bernal Heights Park you run into it. I recently went here for a picnic. Several guidebooks say that you will never grow bored in the Mission. Yet due to the pandemic putting the state of CA on lockdown is putting that theory to the test so the picnic was a nice respite. I ordered a veggie burrito for take out recently & found my way to Precita Park underneath the shade of a tree. The burrito hit the spot. The park had plenty of greenery welcome while living in the City as an Urbanite. Many folks were with their dogs playing with them without a leash tossing frisbees for the dogs to retrieve. Another gentleman was doing calisthenics. Further down is an area for children to play. I look forward to another picnic here yet hopefully the pandemic will be over & the lockdown will end!

    Precita Park is narrow strip park, 1 block south of busy Cesar Chavez Street in San Francisco. It has walking paths, play ground, trees and a spacious lawn. It's a nice place for a break in an urban neighborhood. I often drive thru this area while on my job.

    Happy dog!

    Great neighborhood park! We bring our dog here all the time. People often let their dogs play off leash, but they're usually very conscientious and won't let them off if there are lots of people around. On a nice sunny day, bring a blanket and have a picnic here! There's Precita Park Cafe, where you can get some food, or if you just want snackies, there's a corner store too (Harvest Hills)! There's a fenced in playground for the kiddos to play in, or they can play a game of soccer on the grass. It's quite spacious but very chill and family friendly. It never gets too crowded, which I love. Sometimes on weekends people have birthday parties here and have a bouncy castle. Often, due to high weekend use, the trash and recycling overflows, which can be kinda gross. Overall, I love living walking distance to this park. Not sure if I would make the trek out here if I didn't live nearby, though, as there's not much of a view.

    It's a very nice old park, but not as old as tiny South Park in SOMA (the oldest). Lots of open space, not much traffic so it's quiet and peaceful, excellent on sunny days. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/Ok38N-oyBFBmrPzAdnz3DQ/l - Located just a few blocks from the small business incubator kitchen, La Cocina (http://www.lacocinasf.org/), who has nurtured many streetfood businesses. - Since last year, one of the gathering places for SF streetfood vendors (date/time updates via Twitter), where most carts have chosen to debut. - It's a favorite place of neighborhood dog owners, so I recommend that you DON'T walk on the grass, otherwise you might step on poop.

    Coming a block off of Chavez, this seems like somewhat of a diamond in the rough. That until you realize that you are in Bernal Heights and you are no longer surrounded by riff raff and sheep skin stores. Great little park with a playground at one side, plenty of parking, nice cafe at one end (Precita Park Cafe) wonder restaurant (Hillside Supper Club) and market (Harvest) at the other end. Haven't gotten into the dog doo situation like everyone else has, but I also haven't run around the central part as much. Take caution as with any public park. Nothing huge or mind-blowing, but 9 times out of 10 you aren't going to need anything more than this park.

    graffiti in the park day!
    Priya G.

    I came here for graffiti in the park day. This is no Dolores Park, so don't be expecting that by any means. I thought this place was pretty rad overall: they had a stage set up where locals were rapping and alongside were a bunch of graffiti boards and people were showing off their artsy skills! Weather was great, crowd was chill, and the park wasn't too crowded. We brought blankets and food and enjoyed the scene for a couple hours. The only downfall was the wind, but that's standard for SF. It's a bit out of the way, but parking isn't bad. I would probably only come back here if it was for another event.

    Decent park for kids, but beware the hipsters. This park is a nice break from the concrete corridors of the city. Well maintained playground equipment and nice benches. There is even a recessed sand pit for the younglings to play in a safe area. It is directly adjacent to a nice cafe!

    Zora loves it here
    Kristina B.

    Prescita park is a tiny gem of a grassy patch that's somehow always quiet and never crowded - maybe because it's just far enough from Dolores Street to be forgotten but most save locals. Also super dog friendly and off leash, so long as they're well behaved of course. Very clean, frequenter sate respectful. I walk a dog here twice a week and enjoy the opportunity to escape the mission noise and stroll or lay in the shade. Only wish I lived closer!

    The snow man was back again this year!

My sister and I arrived before 8am at the Watershed parking lot and barely found a space. We did the trail that took us to the West Point Inn for the pancake breakfast and round trip was close to 5 miles so it was a great workout. There's gorgeous views and well! On the way back to the 101 however it's a mess. The road on the way down is crowded with parked cars, which makes driving through challenging. That's the only thing about this park, other than that I'd love to come back in spring when everything is green and vibrant!

Ever since then, I've wanted to hike this peak, today I have achieved my wish. Early June with mild coastal temp, 50s-60s. Started up Matt Davis Trail in the foggy forest, to Pantoll Campground, to West Point Inn where we can look down to the top of the fog layer, to the Fire Lookout building at the Peak. Then we came down reverse but split off to Steep Ravine and Dip Sea trail after the campground. I've also always wanted to climb that ladder. This hike provided views of the Pacific ocean on the West as well as views of Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on the East side. I thoroughly enjoyed the cool lush forest, but actually my favorite section was the single track along the slope of the open area after the Mt Tam State Park sign.

Let's also close down the streets from cars one day a week in the Summer so people can ride their bikes, skate, rollerblade, play and dance in the streets! How about on some warm weekend days we put huge concerts there that fill the grass for as far as the eye can see so people can bring all their friends to enjoy food, drinks, and music together. And the lake... let's make it so people can rent boats, and if they don't or can't row, they can peddle so they, too, can enjoy the waterfall and life on the lake! Let's also have beautiful statues around the park, definitely a Shakespeare Garden, and let's throw in something for garden lovers, like a Botanical Garden (a big one) and a Conservatory of Flowers. For more culture, let's add a Japanese Tea Garden with more lakes and flowers, and even a bridge in the shape of a circle. Let's also make this accessible to everyone, so some days, the museums are free (ie, usually once a month). And some entrance fees are lower for locals. (Check the websites.) Aaaaaand this is Golden Gate Park, and this is my favorite park in California, if not the entire country.

    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!

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.
