Mission Dolores Park

Grab a blanket and sit on the grassy fields of Mission-Dolores Park. If you can bear to take your eyes off your kid while they scuttle about on the expansive and oh-so awesome play structures, you'll encounter the essence of SF just by looking around. People of all ages relaxing on grass, cute dogs running about, on-going cultural events and performances happen all right here.
