Dunne Park — Attraction in Hollister

Great neighborhood park. Lots of grass, tennis courts with a handball wall, playground, rose garden and water conservation garden are all here. There is a building that is available to rent for functions. In the summer there are often movies in the park. There is a baseball field for little league across the street. The park is one large city block surrounded by houses. It is a nice quiet park usually, however, at times the homeless population congregates there. Though they don't seem to bother anyone it feels like I am intruding when I walk my dogs because they have a lot of their stuff there and seem territorial. It is clean and well kept except where the homeless hang out. There the ground is littered. I would never let children go there alone but it's a nice playground for supervised play. There are public restrooms but I would never let a child or teen enter alone. There is no parking except on the street. The park closes at dusk except for movie nights. Best time to visit is late morning or early afternoon. Dogs are allowed on a leash and there is a poop bag dispenser but it is sometimes empty so best to bring your own. Please clean up carefully after your pet because many children play here. If this review was helpful please click...

Still true 4 years later- Well yes my review is because of the homeless that live there.

We need a better solution so that this may be a better park to go to. The homeless are forced out of cities all the time, left no choice but to find another. This is one place they seem to be able to take root and relax, which I'm okay with. It's just since it's supposed to be a park it doesn't feel like a park anymore.

I feel like I'm trespassing when I'm there because they live there and I don't. They've never caused me trouble but as a park in its current state it's 1/5 stars.

It's like a Pizza restaurant that only serves burgers. I'd probably not give it 5 stars because it's serving a different purpose...

Nice centralized location in Historic Downtown Hollister, CA.

Dunne Park is literally located on the San Andreas Fault Line, so a quick walk around the perimeter of the park will yield a great experience of seeing the effects of tectonic plates in action: tennis courts; nice children's play area; pingpong tables, and the Dunne Park Clubhouse which is available for rent for small social gatherings; and, the baseball park - with two fields - is conveniently located across the street. Plenty of parking available around the park. "Take Time to Smell the Roses" in the gorgeous rose garden above the...
