BV MeyerSeptember 26, 2012My dog loves it here! We park at the west end near bridge and walk on the grass headed to the beach. He runs, digs, swims, and plays with many other dogs off leash. Then roll in grass on the way back.- Fodor's TravelJanuary 28, 2016Crissy Field, part of the Golden Gate National Parks system, stretches from Fort Point to Fort Mason, with miles of flat, open space for walking, biking, and kite flying.

Travel + LeisureSeptember 27, 2013Sun-seekers, runners, dog-walkers, and kiteboarders come to this scenic bay-front beach and promenade. Pass through the restored tidal marsh en route to the Warming Hut, a cozy stop for lunch.
shasta dog's favorite place to run/swim. pro tip: house of air serves blue bottle espresso!
Pavan KulkarniAugust 13, 2016Amazing view of the golden gate Alcatraz and city from here. Occasionaly I've seen small open DJ's playing.
Island BruinApril 29, 2017Great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown. Come on a weekday and you don't need to pay for parking near the Warming Hut.
Kelly StrodlSeptember 9, 2011Beautiful view of GG Bridge. Nice to cruise by on a weekend ride around the bayside to oceanside coast. Rock Climbing across the street. Wetlands, BBQ's etc.
Paige CNovember 19, 2015What an amazing dog park! We had a great time running around and enjoying the scenic views surrounding this area!
Be sure to stay to the right on the walking/running path. These hardcore athletes aren't afraid to take you down. Walk all the way to the Warming Hut & grab some cocoa.
Joseph RussavageApril 27, 2014One of our favorite places to take a dog in San Francisco and get a delicious coffee. Plus you are about as close as it gets to the Golden Gate Bridge!
ExploratoriumAugust 31, 2011Try a listening experiment on a foggy day! Call the Golden Gate Bridge at 415-202-3809 on your cell phone and listen to the horn. Do you hear the horn first through the air or over the phone? Why? Read more
Suzanne The MatchmakerDecember 22, 2012This is one of the best places to run in SF and you get a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge!
TruthorDare.usMay 14, 2011We dare you to go to Alcatraz Island and see the first lighthouse ever built followed up with a visit to the museum at The Rock to see all the interesting items collected from Alcatraz.
Hotel Nikko San FranciscoMarch 17, 2015Grab some bikes and take a stroll around Crissy Field! Then end the day by having a picnic with your friends and family.
Sean MillerMarch 20, 2021Everything outdoors can be done here. Beautiful place to walk, run, bike or have a picnic- Robert WilliamsJune 27, 2015Has an excellent view of the Golden gate bridge from here... Easy parking, nice walk and amazing view ..
Fido FactorAugust 5, 2011When heading over to Crissy for some dog friendly fun we always grab a delicious sandwich at the near by Blue Barn. They've got a couple outside tables or get it to go.
Aran RodríguezOctober 4, 2018Plenty of space to do excercise, take a stroll or just lay on the grass. Beautiful views!
I love running here. I ran loops around a 1-mile route and it was awesome seeing the sky change colors over the Golden Gate Bridge as the sun set.
Check out the new art, only complaint is that the signs describing the art should have you facing the bay, not the presidio.
Jole PDecember 24, 2015Such a beautiful place to relax and go on a run. Plus, not too far from ghirardelli square!
Liza PApril 2, 2017All the dogs, all the kiteboarders and all the windsurfers! Really good place to take in the wind.
Bachelor10April 26, 2011Send a couple scouts to get there a little earlier than the rest of the Bachelor Party to ensure you get a table and BBQ as it’s first come, first served. Read more
Leah HessJune 27, 2018Sat during pride, a bit chilly but amazing view of golden gate. Be weary of the weather though, could be foggy
Alex ChenJuly 29, 2018Walk along the beach, play frisbee, have a picnic, ride a bike, and people watch.
Sherry LiSeptember 6, 2015Great view of the bridge. Nice to run through. Near the presidio and palace of fine arts.
Take a stroll along the path. Stop for a hot dog at "Let's be Frank" stand on your way to the Golden Gate Bridge span.
- Northernmost park in SF, beach, golden gate bridge views. A nice place to walk around.

IzabellaApril 30, 2015One day if I do go to heaven I'll look around and say, 'It ain't bad, but it ain't San Francisco.'
Philip AndresJanuary 15, 2011There's an indoor wall climbing place here, u can also rent bikes at sports basement
Tom YeeOctober 17, 2011There aren't many places where you can see the GG Bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, and the the downtown builds peeking over the hill.
Dogs, tourists, kite surfers, and some bridge. Great people watching/lurking.
Roderick GoodmanJanuary 27, 2013If your in the area, this is a must place to take a stroll along the bay.
- Here's a pro tip: if you're trying to see the Golden Gate Bridge in its full glory in July, you're going to be disappointed.
