San Bruno City Park — Attraction in San Bruno

Great park. There's a lower area and an upper area, separated by a road and a creek. The lower area can either be accessed via the main entrance on Crystal Springs or you can follow one of the two trails in from the neighborhoods above. The Crystal Springs side has BBQ areas and a children's playground right near the entrance with sand pits and play structures. Beyond that is a baseball field that opens onto a larger grassy field with tennis courts at the other end. The baseball field frequently in use for Little League, but when it's empty, it often makes a good place to observe cedar waxwings. Overall, the lower area of the park is nicely scaped with lots of trees and walking paths. There's a lot of construction going in the upper area across the road right now. They are putting in a new recreation center. Unfortunately, they have torn out the gazebo and a good deal of the area on that side is inaccessible for the moment. However, if you make your way past, there are a couple of open fields, including a second sports field. The uppermost field also has a covered area with picnic tables. Dogs are allowed on-leash in the park, but be advised that you will sometimes see folks facilitating off-leash play beyond the baseball field and more frequently in the smaller fields of the upper area of the park. If you continue up past those fields, San Bruno City Park bleeds into Junipero Serra State Park, with trails leading up into the state park. Don't forget that in addition to the obvious parking near the main entrance, you can drive through and hang a right at the far end to find more parking above by the uppermost field, near the boundary between the two parks. Or you can continue up Crystal Springs and park at the top by the senior center and follow one of the paths down. That senior center parking lot is also a great place to observe...

The City of San Bruno is about to destroy this park by building a hideously large recreation center way too big for this space! The park will be losing half of the open green space and picnic areas as well as most of the over 100 trees that help keep the air clean as we are surrounded by freeways, CalTrain and SFO pollution. that are supposed to be protected as they are heritage trees! This is California, we need more space to be outdoors not indoors and 2 swimming pools are ridiculous when we are dealing with water shortages for the past several years! With all these new apartment projects being approved by San Bruno, people will rely on parks for green space as they will not have backyards. Our horrible San Bruno leadership added double the square footage and $15M dollars under the “premise” of adding a community hall and conference rooms which they will basically be using as fancy new digs for themselves!!!!! Disgusting!!!! This was after getting approval from the community for a much different proposed plan. This area will not be able to handle the traffic and the surrounding homes can’t handle the runoff parking!!!! We need to vote the Mayor and his team of sell outs, out and get new...

I was absolutely upset to be pulled to the side by local Police for walking my dog on the opposite side of the street. I was told that because of yelp reviews and complaints, no dogs were allowed around the area. The officer was very polite and seemed to disagree with the idea but ultimately, I had to return my dog home.

I think that it is extremely irrational to not allow residents of this area to walk their dogs. I can understand if there are irresponsible dog owners but you can't punish a whole community. I own a business in Downtown SF but chose to live in San Bruno to be able to give my dog and myself access to local parks and healthy outdoors.

I hate to rant, but it is very difficult not too when you have to drive 5 miles to walk your dog instead of walking around your...
