This a park for doges, although there is a children's playground on the east end. However there are no restroom facilities for huumahns. The doge owners in this neighborhood are funny, small doges are on leashes - mostly because their owners don't want their precious little babies run over by cars, if they run off. But the majority of large doges are not on leashes, occasionally one "alpha" will come across another, and the normal posturing and growling takes place. Responsible owner will try to intervene, while less responsible owners just let the animals settle their business themselves.
Tangles are rare, as most of the doges are socialized, and are familiar with each other, they're more happy to sniff each other, than to fight. Its just the ones passing through who aren't well behaved that are the problem. But animal waste is a problem since it is only a few who pick up after their pets, its 50/50 for persons who properly dispose of "bagged" doggie poop. There are lots of abandoned poop bags around the park from irresponsible doge owners, other than neglected poop piles in the grass - for the unwary to sit or step on.
There is a great open space for doges to run around, some days and afternoons, there are more doges than people is seems. That joggers stretching, or couples lounging are more in the way for doges than the animals. Thus it is more of a doge park, than one for huumahns.
As you probably presume - I prefer cats, but no less a conscientiously responsible...
Read moreThis is my local park and during spring summer and fall my wife or i bring our dog here at least once a day. During the week, the long grass field is mostly used as a dog park and 95% of the dogs are well behaved. The problem is the drainage of the field is horrible and during the winter's rains the park is not usuable without coating your shoes and your dog in mud. Charlie's coffee is our morning stop and anchors the community. The far end of the park has a fenced in children's playground and is always at least half filled with families. It is also next to where a new coffee house is moving in from the owners of the dolores park cafe. I'm curious to see if it can generate as much community activity. I would sacrifice 1/3 the grass for a tenis and basketball court. And i wish humphrey slo colm would move down the street to this park. Yay for Precita Park! Together with the top of Bernal Hill, it pulls the community of Bernal...
Read moreGreat park in a great neighborhood. Love it’s long rectangular shape,how much sun it gets (saw a young lady sunning in her Bikini last week around 12:30 pm, so that should give you an idea of how much sun it receives!). Great for picnics (just know that people have doggies off leash in the park, me being one of them ). Never seen an overwhelming amount of people, always seems to be the right amount of folks spread across the park. Great park for dogs (just be weary of the proximity of of the park to the street if you’re gonna have your dog off leash). Love the variety of people I see there, people having picnics , taking strolls, shooting what looked like an after school special video, happy doggies, and...
