Mission Dolores Park, Urban park in Mission District, San Francisco, United States.
Mission Dolores Park is an urban park in the Mission District of San Francisco covering roughly 6.5 hectares with views toward downtown. The grounds spread across multiple terraces with tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, and palms lining the grassy areas.
The site served as a Jewish cemetery starting in 1861 before the city acquired it in 1905. After the great earthquake of 1906, it became a temporary tent camp for displaced residents.
The park takes its name from the nearby 18th-century Mission San Francisco de Asís. On warm days, locals gather on the sloping lawns for picnics and sunbathing, and the open grass becomes a social meeting point.
The J-Church Metro line stops at the western edge, making arrival by public transport straightforward. Restrooms sit near the northern edge, and free street parking is available along surrounding blocks.
The Helen Diller Playground offers specially adapted play equipment for children with disabilities, including wheelchair-accessible swings and sensory elements. This barrier-free design makes the area one of the most inclusive play spaces in the city.
