Mission Dolores Park

What a GREAT spot!

Meltin'Pot of people.. .

Dogs run free around...

Great park for kids, couples and families.

If you Single.. you'll enjoy watching it all!!

This is a must place to go.. and carries very much the Spirit of what SF is all about!

Dolores Park is a historic landmark in San Francisco. I enjoy it because instead of being overrun with tourists, its always overrun with locals on the weekend afternoons. People walk around selling weed and pizza. The park is generally clean, but the bathrooms are a bit nasty.

If you have kids, try out the playground at this park. Its huge. And it was recently refurbished.

If you play tennis, try a match at the Dolores courts. They have six courts and they do fill up, but if you are willing to wait patiently for a bit, one will open up.

Parking is difficult, so be sure to take public transport.

Me and my girlfriend love coming to Dolores Park on a sunny beautiful day in San Francisco. The atmosphere here is unbeatable as well as the views.

We tried coming here as much as possible and taking advantage of the park on sunny days. It was a little bit windy over this past weekend, but we really enjoyed it and we went to grab dinner in the mission which was about 3 to 4 blocks down from Dolores Park

Was I staring in my own television show opening or was I just at the very top of Dolores Park also known as Mission Dolores Park one of SF's most popular and spacious parks with hills and inclines to match its city.

Hard to say... I may have done a twirl with a double thumbs up...

Seriously one of the best natural views of the skyline and city of San Francisco with lush greenery, scenery, tennis courts, soccer field, basketball, large palms, playground, pathways, and a seriously impressive mini rainbow bridge (along with others).

Dolores is dog friendly, picnic friendly and event friendly as they've been know to host festivals, events and movies in the park here. My friend Dan told me they've done things for pride month here quite a bit in the past and being so close to a train stop (Muni - Metro J) and accessible in many directions to local transit, wide sidewalks and grassy fields makes it a park goer must.

My first time here and I definitely took it all in. The incline wasn't too bad throughout the park. Going down (be careful) is always easier than up. The streets surrounding were/are actually more of a felt leg day.

Restrooms are pretty decent and there is so much room to spread out and enjoy your day here whether it be a lunch break, stroll, run, hang or just enjoying the great outdoors in city.

Parking is street (somewhat limited) if you're driving but you'll most likely get lucky parking a little bit away, less restrictions.

I've never seen such a clean Leave No Trace park and aside from the San Francisco treat (Rice-A-Roni) along the bridge (see pics) it seems to stay clean, friendly and welcoming to all.

Q Tip:
The pics are so amazing here especially of people, postcard worthy! The best time of day seems to be the first half of the day when the sun is out before the fog or wind roll in. Highly recommend grabbing that selfie or person to capture you and your D.P./M.D.P. memories.

Whenever we're in SF, my wife and I visit Mission Delores Park. It has a great view of the city when the weather permits. The park is a great place to nap, hangout with your dog, or people watch. A lot of people have picnics and drink at the park - I believe it is encouraged to bring cans not glass to the park if you are drinking. There's plenty of food vendors and people selling mushrooms and weed. The children's playground seems newly renovated and their bathrooms were clean as an attendant was on location all day. The park seems to have something for everyone. My wife and I will keep going and I'd recommend you try it out as well.

This park is definitely good for just casually sitting out on your blanket and enjoying the weather. I've heard it can get pretty crowded but on this day it was relatively chill. There were tons of people with their dogs so it's definitely dog friendly here as well. The dogs aren't required to be on a leash either, so dog owners may enjoy that as well. If you're dog averse you may not be as much of fan. The park is exceptionally clean and has great views. My suggestion would be to go during non park times.

Enjoy!

One of the popular park in SF which offers spectacular view of the city's sky scrapers and its surrounding. Playground, palm trees, big spread of grassy field, Light rail station and many events are held here weekly.
Parking is difficult, very limited street parking and roads are narrow.

While very scenic and popular, Delores Park is a very eclectic park where there are a variety of activities going on with a very large variety of people.

In one section, there were a group of guys attempting the white claw challenge with their duct taped hands and in another section there were children with their kites.

While we taking pictures here in the middle of the park during sunset, a weird woman (most likely on some serious drugs because she had a glass pipe not for the herbal kind in her hand and was rambling about something that was inaudible to us) threw a saucy cold sandwich at us that struck me in the leg. She launched it from a sitting position at a little bit of a distance. I was actually surprised that it hit me.

Overall, it's a popular park that is worth visiting but I would be careful of your surroundings and I wouldn't come here at night.

A beautiful spot to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. It's a busy park, but the views are incredible. Definitely bring a blanket if you want to hang here for a while.

The top of Dolores park has really great views of downtown San Francisco. It's a fairly small park and they did have a pretty extensive children's park inside as well. They have some off leash dog areas and I saw plenty of pups enjoying it! They also have a small bridge painted in rainbow colors that's a cute photo area. I could definitely see myself coming here just to enjoy a day with friends. Overall I think it's worth a quick stop just for the view of the city. If you're in this area you can also check out the golden fire hydrant for an additional quick stop/some city history.

Clean and well-maintained park, a few benches along the border (but no picnic tables on site), a massive playground in the center, spectacular views of the city and surrounding buildings, lovely palm trees, lots of grass for picnicking underneath the cloudy sky, wind blowing, sun shining, dogs running around, people happily going about their day (not many visitors on a Sunday afternoon in February), the area feels generally safe, street parking's challenging but that's not a surprise in this neighborhood.
