This is one of the main hot spots in San Francisco and is the major meet-up place for many San Franciscans. Though it is not very large, it attracts crowds of people and the beautiful views make it worth the visit. Recreational resources include a few tennis courts, basketball courts, two soccer fields and a children's playground but most of all Dolores Park is often used as a venue for special events such as movies in the park. Its surrounding area is known for some of San Francisco's major culinary attractions: Delfina, Pizzeria Delfina and the Tartine Bakery. It is also a great place to chill with some ice cream from the Bi-Rite Creamery. Saturday hang-outs in the park are often events themselves; the park is always packed on weekends. Dolores Park is almost always sunny, the famous fog knows better than to ruin the oasis that is the park. Whether you choose to sit in Dog Beach (to the left at the bottom of the stairs), Hipster Beach (to the right at the bottom of the stairs, Speedo Ridge (top right of the park) or partake in actual activity at the playground or tennis courts you are sure to have a grand ol' time.
