    I enjoy bringing my dog here, and it would be a five star place, if other dog owners and dog walkers were more mindful. I wish people would keep their dogs on leash until they got to the designated play areas. Also, please stop looking at your phone, and keep an eye on your dogs! If you can't do it out of respect for others, bear in mind that coyotes also live here, and you should always be paying attention.

    Beautiful park very clean and filled with dogs. Wheelchair and stroller friendly with some inclines. Dogs on leashes required in some areas. Must pick up after pets. Keep this place beautiful don’t litter, wear a mask and social distance.

    Can get crowded on a sunny day, but a beautiful place to spend time with your furry friends. When approaching from the Pine Lake entrance, be wary of coyotes on the hill or in the thickets near the pathway. The Stern Grove concert area is still closed, but concerts are expected to begin again this summer (4/24/2022).

    Big, beautiful meadow surrounded by huge mature trees. I visited at the end of the day, without a dog, and the low angle of the sun gave a warm glow. Quiet despite the many happy dogs. Children strolling the perimeter path with their adults, too. Since it was late February, flowering trees. Because of the time of day, a chorus of birdsong, too. Lots of parking (but nicely hidden by vegetation) to the east. To the west, on the same paved path, beautiful little Pine Lake, where I spotted mallard and bufflehead ducks and pied billed grebes and turtles. There's a building between the two areas with rest rooms. Pine Lake hosts Park and Rec day camps in the summer season.

    Always a fantastic place to bring our lassa aspo. people are friendly and there's plenty of room for the dogs to run around. You might want to bring a towel with you so you can do a quick clean after a great time in the park.

    Great place to let your dog be a dog. Lots of open space for them to run. Lots of water fountains there. Does get muddy down there so don't wear nice shoes

  • 5/5 Jake 3 years ago on Google
    So many dogs! Dogs everywhere! There’s a ton of space down here as well as a lot of very friendly people and dogs alike. Everything goes - if you’re dog absolutely needs a ball in their mouth, go for it! If they’re more of a dogs dog, there are always plenty willing to play. It tends to stay a bit foggy, but there seems to always be good wind shelter. Bring a jacket though!

    First time taking our dog here. Park is kind of run down. Lots of people are walking their dogs here but majority are not following the leash rule even though there are signs all over the place saying leash is required.

  • 5/5 Fahria O. 5 years ago on Google
    Such a great place for the doggies to hang out and play! There are picnic tables and plenty of trails and grass. There’s parking too! My dog @cheechthefunk loved it, we had a meet-up here it was so fun

    The best place to go specially when it's raining your dog does not get too muddy there's a path you can stay on and not get wet it's secure and beautiful nice friendly people nice dogs with more can you ask for when you look up to the sky you see beautiful redwoods eucalyptus Hawks even an egret once in a while will be in the pond.

    I’ve been too many dog parks in SF, but this one is my favorite. This definitely feels like a “locals-only” place. All owners are fairly respectful and take care of the place. This park is very off leash friendly. After living in Rincon Hill for many years, this was a very good change of pace, as many of the dogs off leash were clearly trained to get along with dogs. Majority of the dogs are on the larger side, but there are also many small dogs as well. There is a lot of parking for cars. I don’t recommend street parking because the park is below street grade. One of the downsides is that it’s not very pedestrian friendly to get to, and many people drive in to get to it.

    Great place to take the dog. This is the largest, cleanest dog park I’ve seen in SF. And there’s actually grass and a lake, not just dirt.
