Dog Park | Pine Lake Park — Attraction in San Francisco

I love this park. There's parking and the trees isolate the area so dogs can't run off into the street.

Most of the people in tge city have become so distant now. I dont know my neighbors anymore. Everyone keeps...

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...
