Dolores Park

|
| Dolores Park is a unique microcosm of San Francisco. It's on the border of the Mission and Castro neighborhoods, and reflects the ethnic and cultural diversity of this area. On any given day you can find joggers, tai chi-ers, nature lovers, picnic-ers sun bathers, tennis players, families playing in the children's park, dogs running up and down the hills, tourists gawking at the amazing downtown view (or the characters in the park). Other than it's beauty, one great aspect of this park is that it is the people's park of the city. Many social/political events begin or end at this cental location. It's quite common between the early spring to late fall months to run into some protest rally or event, from anti-war demonstrations to the performances such as the progressive San Francisco Mime Troupe. It also holds many cultural events, including the magical (tho chilly) outdoor movie nights during spring to early fall months. For a little more history, check out wikipedia's write up. No matter where you're at, Dolores Park is a great place to get active, find healthy eats, and relax and unwind. |
