Progress Park — Attraction in San Francisco

This is about The Backyard at Progress Park, which is the dog park portion of the entire park. This is a terrific little neighborhood dog park right under the 280 freeway in the Dogpatch section of San Francisco. As there are not an abundance of fenced-in parks in the city, this one is really good, great dogs and great people. It is a nice size, wood chips, and they actually just laid out a fresh new batch of them, as of the date of this posting. It has a great water fountain for dogs inside, and lots of places to sit for the people. I live in Pacifica and actually drive out here sometimes, because it's such a great little park. Do note that this is just one park for all dog sizes -- there is not a separate small dog park -- but the dogs all seem to get along, big and small. We use this park alternately with St. Mary's, Upper Douglas, and Rincon Hill, the other good fenced-in dog parks...

There is also often at least one homeless person camped out under the highway entrance but they don't tend to...

My friends and I went to this location looking for a dog park. We had read on Google that there was a dog park with a sizable gate around it and lots of trees so the dogs will be running around in nature. We went on a Saturday around 1:00 p.m., thinking maybe it would be just lull enough since her dogs are a little bit anxious around other dogs. When we got there, we saw that there was some kind of party happening with a bunch of people, but no dogs. So we walked around the area and found the dog park somewhat in the back, but it was completely chained off and closed. I guess there are hours to the dog park specifically, unfortunately we don't know what...
