Kezar Stadium, Public stadium in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, United States.
Kezar Stadium is a public sports facility in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, with an eight-lane track encircling a central grass field used for football, soccer, and track meets. The complex has seating along both sides, and the oval layout allows clear sightlines from the stands to athletic competitions and matches taking place on the turf.
The original structure opened in 1925 with funds from Mary Kezar's estate and served as home to the San Francisco 49ers until 1971. The current facility was rebuilt in the early 1990s, retaining parts of the earlier architecture.
The name honors Mary Kezar, whose estate funded the construction, and her family is still acknowledged on memorial plaques. On weekends you often see high school teams and their families gathering in the stands, where local sports traditions continue with every game.
The track and field are open daily from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM for individual runners, walkers, and athletes when no events are scheduled. Spectator stands remain accessible during public hours, and the facility is reachable through several park entrances.
A two-tone stucco arch from 1925 still stands on the western side, marking the original entrance to the old structure. This preserved archway now serves as an architectural landmark and reference point for visitors exploring the historical character of the site.
