    A great park to go to for gatherings, a place to walk your dog, or simply go to on a run. There is also a tennis and basketball court as well. Typically the parking lot is never full either and there's plenty of parking on the street. It's a small park, but it's still a nice area. My only complaint is the playground needs to be updated as it's been the exact same as it was two decades ago. If you play Pokemon Go there is also six Pokestops plus a gym!

    Been coming here for many years now. We usually come here to play basketball and tennis after dark or to jog around the track. This is probably another park that needs a makeover. It can get pretty abandoned looking - very gloomy on most days. Everything seems to be so far from eachother. You probably won't appreciate it at first, but you'll grow to love it. Nature just surrounds this open space. Sellick has a pretty long field which is right between the playground and courts. It's located on higher grounds where you'll find a beautiful view of South San Francisco. Since Sellick's on a mountain and has a pretty big and open field, we thought it would be perfect to fly our kites here. What a great idea! You could get pretty good wind up here.

    This park is one of my favorite parks in SSF. It has something for everyone!! First off, there are bathrooms so that's always nice. They have a small playground for kids. There is a barbecue area with multiple tables and barbecue pits. They even have a seating area for a bonfire. For those who want a workout it offers a pathway just long enough to give you a decent run. There's also a tennis court and basketball court. The best part of this place is the location. It's right off the freeway but it's tucked up in a residential area so it's hardly ever super packed. A lot of the locals who go here have dogs as well so you shouldn't get a hard time from that many people if you have your dog off the leash. The park happens to be located on a hill so the views are great as well. When you're not walking amongst a ton of trees on one side, you're looking out at a panoramic view of South San Francisco. This is a beautiful peaceful park and I suggest that anyone in SF take a visit.

    2 levels and lots of hills to climb on

    Nice size park. Dog friendly, and has a great walking path. BBQ area with tables is a little dated. The playground has a lot of things to climb and jump off. Good location to have a picnic or party. Lots of shade from the trees.

    Nice spacious park with a bathroom. It's definitely windy. There is a lot of lawn space but you definitely hear the freeway noise.

    It has a nice play ground (with Dinosaurs!), lighted tennis and basketball courts, and a nice loop that equals 1/3 of a mile.

    There are a few entrances, but I think the most popular one is on Sneath Lane. This trail is paved…read moreand pretty steady and not too difficult for about a mile but then gets a bit steeper for the next mile to the top. On the way up you can see views of the San Andreas Reservoir Lake. After the rain you can hear the water flowing and see some little streams and wild mushrooms. To the ridge is a little under 2 miles. I like the fact there is a small bathroom which I find quite rare on trails like this. To the left is the San Francisco Discovery Site which has a plaque with some information. Apparently, this was the place the Spanish settlers first saw the San Francisco Bay. To the right the trail goes along the ridge to the remains of the old Nike missile site. The views are stellar, and one can see for miles on end, Marin, the city, Pacifica Mount Diablo, etc. I love watching all the planes coming in and out from nearby SFO. From Sneath the hike is about 5 miles and 2 hrs. I've also gone the Mori Trail route which is nice because it's not paved but this trail is steeper. It's worth checking out the funky Shelldance Orchid Gardens which is located at the trailhead but they are only open on the weekends.

    This is a nice enough spot to go for a hike. It was easy to find my way to the Sneath Lane Trail…read moreParking using google maps, a small lot within a residential neighborhood, that fits about 10-15 vehicles. It was foggy, cold, and incredibly windy during my visit last week, and of course, there's an incline as the trail wraps around the mountain. But it wasn't too bad, the actual climb up didn't feel as difficult as it looked from a distance, starting with the sneath lane trail then connecting to other trails higher up. In fact, there are many options for different trails to take. The Baquiano Trail had a dirt pathway while the Notch Trail toward the Nike Missile Control Site was paved. Near the SF Bay Discovery Site, there's a small restroom building (it was pretty clean for a park facility, on a Thursday afternoon). The gorgeous foliage lining the various paths was captivating, along with lovely views of the hills, lake (san andreas reservoir), and sunlit scenery in the distance. Too foggy to enjoy the views the higher you get though, just a giant cloud of fog everywhere. I barely made it three miles out before turning back. It was just far too windy and foggy to wanna be out there very long (I'm sure hot days would be even worse with zero shade to be found). Plus my legs definitely had a workout from the uphill trek. Luckily the jog back down was a breeze. And I did slow down to appreciate the vegetation and vast array of plant species, once again, before leaving.

    Parking: There are two lots. One by the baseball field…read morewhich is a shortish walk to the kids playground, and one right next to the playground which I didn't park at because I couldn't figure out how to get there. A wanderer explained I would need to get back on the freeway and go around etc. so I just shrugged and hauled myself on the paved path to the park. Playground: I'm such a fan because my son is 17 months and the playground was a great size for him. The slides are low to the ground so I feel comfortable with him going down on his own. I wish the swings were longer cause it's a lot back and forth quick swings but he doesn't complain and asks to jump back and forth between the two options. The area is very small, but not crowded so a sweet low key option for a parent who doesn't want to run around too much. There's a fun dome like spinning seat and a larger swing to sit with your kid in as well. There's not a ton at this park but what there was enough. Safety: I felt super safe here! I There were a handful of people with kids resting at some of the few picnic tables who kept to themselves. There were a few teenagers that strode in but they also kept to themselves. The flooring at this park is spongey and I had no worries about my son falling. There is a concrete "stage" with concrete seating around it that my son loved climbing on so I was close-by for that play area. Resting: Plenty of grass for picnics and 2-3 picnic tables that I noticed. Nothing was shaded though. Overall: I would definitely come back. My son was not ready to leave as he loved it here. I just need to figure out the correct parking lot!

    Pretty park. Nice grill area. Cool playground for toddlers and big kids…read more My daughter is in between big kid and toddler and she did struggle to get to the side bc the only way on the big slide is to climb the rope jungle gym. It took her practically the whole day to build the courage bc it's so high in the air. The park is clean and people there were so nice.
