Known forlocal favoritedog-friendlypanoramiccommunity
A beloved neighborhood hilltop park with a grassy summit offering sweeping views of downtown, the Bay, and the peninsula in all directions. The off-leash dog culture here is legendary — it's one of the most dog-friendly spots in the city — and the community vibe is warm and genuinely local. The unpaved summit path gets slippery when wet, and parking on the surrounding residential streets requires patience.
