Mission Dolores Park

Often referred to simply as Dolores Park, this vast park makes for a great getaway from the city's rush and buzz. The park is visited for the majestic views it offers, as well as for plenty sporting facilities - tennis courts, soccer fields, basketball court and much more. For the best view of the city's skyline, head to the southwest corner of the park.

This place is a popular chilling spot so it can get quite crowded, especially in summer. It is also the location of frequent events throughout the year, such as festivals, cultural performances, and various sporting events.
