Lafayette Park

This recently remodeled park offers killer views , tennis courts , picnic tables , and a new children’s play structure and water feature. Fido will love the off-leash area, too. Read more

This park has incredible views all the way around. A perfect spot for hanging with friends or reading. There are also usually lots of dogs!

Beautiful dog park on the east side of the park . Let your dogs run unleashed there. Beautiful kids play area on the west side of the park . Lots of awesome seating/lounging/picnicking areas for all

The park reopened in July and I'm 80% sure it's run by and owned by the local dog population. I'm a dog owner, so it's awesome. If you don't like dogs, stay to the north side of the park .

Our dog loved this park ! I love their turf grass - so much better than dirt or gravel!

Great spot to picnic when you are exploring. Go up there from Japantown, eat, go down on the other side to the coast!

Unappreciated view of the bay and city . Catch a glimpse of Twin Peaks from here (my fav view of the city ) and down to the bay over Pac Heights toward Sausalito and Alcatraz. Dog park big area.

The park will be closed off in places until Spring 2013. The plans for the re-development look great but sadly some trees that are home to some pretty amazing wildlife (hawks!) will be cut down.

Had a good time chilling here with my friends during our recent trip to San Francisco.

Great views and relaxing park . It has a good playground and dog area.

Best view of the city on a clear day!

Most go to Alamo Square, but this place has some nice views of the bay . Underrated park .

Perfect for lunch . Grab a gourmet sandwich from Cheese Plus in Polk/Pacific, then stroll up to the park for sun and dog watching .

Make sure to cross the hill and take in the view

Not crowded ! Good spot to catch the sun!

Amazing view of the water, a prime spot for urban meditation .

Grab a sandwhich from Millers East Coast Deli on Polk inbetween Washington and Clay. Enjoy a relaxing view of the boats in the bay .

Me of my favorite playgrounds in SF - tons of great features, some shade, and gated.

Excellent tennis courts if you can play a game in 30mins

Achtung Minen! Beware of "landmines". Other than that, its still one of the most relaxing, beautiful and scenic places in the city .

Just reopened last Saturday - everything is brand new! Including a pretty awesome playground

This park is named after America's favorite fightin' Frenchman

The reno is amazing! Longest monkey bars in the world!

Amazing views from this friendly , clean park .

The renovated park is great.

In an inteview with Diablo Magazine Jeremy and Sandy (from the Amazing Race) share that they trained in Lafayette Park to get in shape for the race. Read more

Dog park and views are amazing

Our park is still being held hostage after months of expensive construction delays by one woman's selfish quest for omnipotence. Thanks for ruining my dog's summer.

Nice view over Marina and a cool dog training spot

Beautiful. Love the smell of lavender at the top of the hill .

Such a charming park ! Forest and grass

Great place for young kids birthday parties . Enclosed kid only area. Nice playground . Picnic benches . And restrooms .

Beautiful little park on the hills !

Dog friendly , kid friendly , sun friendly .

New park for me. Nice park . Easy parking

If you have a small dog go to the north side of the park . Bigger dogs go to the south. I don't know where people w/o dogs go. :-)

If u love dogs it's the best park to go
