Nice big park to bring your kids and pets to play. They have picnic tables and benches all around. read more

Sellick Park - Pretty park - Parks Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Lovely little park! It was my first time here today and I was really impressed. It felt like a little slice of Golden Gate Park with the Eucalyptus trees surrounding the park. Not a lot of people besides those at the pickleball court. Lush grass and nice walking path for the dog. Even dog waste bags are provided by the bathrooms. I also love the roses and other flowers planted there. Overall a really gorgeous park and great for a sunny day walk. read more

Beautiful park surrounded by homes and apartments. Great view of the south city sign in one spot of the park. Enjoyed lunch in the grass here. Overall I like that this park has a parking lot, a trail, and bathrooms. read more

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! read more

We came here to play some tennis. There's only one tennis court. There's a nice little trail for walking. Playground needs some updating, but my kids didn't mind. The Merry go round was broken. The park has bathrooms and a little parking lot. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this one since I was expecting hideous weather conditions when I heard this was in SSF. A friend held a bday party for his son here and I was expecting to get blown off my feet to the Land of Oz, but since the park seems to be nestled in a grove surrounded by eucalyptus, the wind wasn't that bad. It was also in June so it was actually pleasantly warm while the rest of the peninsula was sweating in the 90s. Pros: Bathrooms, but alllllll the way by parking. Shade and sunshine spots -- cool off under the eucalyptus trees, warm up in the center of the park. Nice paved trails. Cute faux rock-climbing hills for kids. Plenty of green space for anyone who wanted to just picnic and vege out. Clean -- not a dog doo in sight, and people were definitely walking their dogs there. Clearly, nice and respectful parkgoers (believe it or not, dog poo hanging out is a serious problem with several parks near me in RWC). Cons: Play structures are sparse in activities and are kind of old. Not that much parking on the Appian Way side. It's technically a parking lot but not too generous on the number of spots. Bathrooms are far from the play structures and picnic spots. read more

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. read more

The play structures definitely needs some updating but I'd say it is a fairly clean park. It is mostly locals that reside this park so it tends to not get too crowded. There's a tennis and basketball court with plenty of paved trails to walk around. Bathrooms are by the parking lot and plenty of dog owners bring their dogs here. The view of SSF is certainly a plus but bring a jacket because it can get really windy! read more

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. read more

So the only annoying thing about the park was the parking. It was HELLA far form the grills. And all you folks SAMOAN or associated with such people know that we grill 'em by the COOLERS (yes, plural). So carry'n all that cow ain't the business. it felt like the World's Strongest contest and them Country sized rock they make 'em do. We used to just park on Appian Way and slide the coolers down the hill. Wayyyy easier, wayy faster and I didn't strain any of these wonderful muscles of mines (oh yeaaa!). There's a huge hill in the middle of the field so you couldn't get the best football game, but who gives a damn as long as you get to play right? The basketball court is actually OK, and always has it's net when I go so that's a plus. The park is actually not too bad if you don't mind dealing with the sand from the lil ones when you get home. But the place i always CLEAN. So an easssy 4, just for give'n us a good excuse to ride the coolers down hill! haahahaha. read more

Moving from Sacramento to San Francisco I missed my big parks. Luckily Sellick Park is a quick jog from my apartment. It has a nice play ground (with Dinosaurs!), lighted tennis and basketball courts, and a nice loop that equals 1/3 of a mile. With a long day at work, I don't get home until after dark. The good thing is the the circular path around the park is illuminated so I don't trip over my own legs. There are slight hills so it always gives my legs varied terrain. There are always walkers (literal walkers, not zombies) at night. Even at 9 pm, I still feel safe during my runs. The only downside is that there is only a half of a basketball court, and 1 tennis court so sometimes you'll have to wait. read more

Came here on a gross foggy evening. Great place to chill at, walk your dog, play on the playground or have lunch at the picnic tables. I like how open the space is but still feels intimate because of its cul de sac layout. They have a tennis court and a half count basketball area. read more

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. read more

I love this park..I have fond memories of celebrating many many birthday parties here growing up, way back in it's hey day in the 80s, 90s. It was a family favorite and our go-to. But things have changed. The park is still beautiful. It's the playground though that's in dire need of help. The play structures used to be fun, large, intricate and were made of wood. Now, the play area is boring, dinky, simple, made of plastic/metal in faded colors - uninspiring. It's filthy from non-use..old leaves, cob webs, bird poo and bugs litter the surfaces. It's kind of yucky and dingy. It's not being maintained and it doesn't stimulate play and creativity. I hope the city of South San Francisco can do something to revamp this playground and bring it back to life..then the second generation can enjoy it just as much as their mom and dads did way back when. read more

Great walking area! Had to start some form of exercise! Walked the paved road was surprised how fast I walked and covered the entire area!!definitely a go to place! Did not know park was so close to home. Thanks to my buddy NERISSA for recommending to me!!will be back tomorrow !! My dogs will enjoy this place also!! Can't wait to bring them here!! read more

This park would be a goldmine if South City would pay to replace the broken play structures and update the play area. Basically now it's a run down junk heap. My nephew's birthday party was here and other than not being able to see my child from the seating area and the busted up merry go round, it was large and would be great for parties. I'm not the one to pay $107 for a picnic reservation for a broke down play area...but that's just me. read more

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

Been going to this park all my life. There's a long trail to run laps around the park. There's lots of grassy area for dogs to run and play. There's a playground for kids and also basketball and tennis courts. There's a bonfire area and grills for barbecue's and parties. And most of all, it has a great view! read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Lots of memories on the half court hoop court. On sunny days, its nice to run a few pick up games with some old friends. read more

This park is tucked away so it's nice since not a lot of people know about. It's a good sized park with a large rolling grassy area, a cement path, parking lot, playground, BBQ area, basketball and tennis court, and restroom. I like to bring my dog here since it's walking distance. The grass is decent and locals there are friendly. read more

Love this park. for the rare days that it's hot or too sunny there's shade so I don't have to worry about the kids getting burned at noon time. My son loves just walking on the edges and the rocky slopes, you know everything besides the playground equipment (he's 4 but has been that way since he was 2). My daughters love the swings. read more

Great park to walk the dogs. Clean restrooms, and great view of the bay on a clear day. Love it because it's close enough to the house that I feel we get a good cardio workout. For picnics, they have a really nice shady area with a few grills and tables. Only downer is you'll have to make a few trips back and forth from the car to the picnic site, as the parking lot isn't very close. read more

so surprised and glad that there was already a review on this park. parking was easy, and the setup was a good use of limited space. there's a great view of south san francisco and its sign hill. there was a decent sized volleyball court area being used by a group of young parents and a couple of bbq pits with picnic tables adjacent to them. but the kiddie area seemed to be an afterthought of the designers. it was set aside to the far right/south of the park, right below the eucalyptus trees. this made the area dark, drab and drafty, and dead leaves were all over the ground. the bench had bird crap all over it so it wasn't a welcoming place to sit. while this park would be good for college kids getting together for a bbq, or for older adults going for a walk or run, i don't think i could recommend this place for pre-school or elementary school aged kids. but it's still a great place to hang out when you're bored or need to get away from things. read more
