John McLaren Park

About

John McLaren Park, [9]. At 317 acres, this is the second largest park in San Francisco, and is located smack dab in Visitacion Valley. Recently cleaned up, this park is still under used. With rolling hills and views galore, this is the best place in the city to get away from it. If you have a dog, bring it to the reservoir on Shelley Drive where there is a large off-leash area where your pet can romp in the fields or swim in the water. There is an amphitheater, a duck pond, multiple playgrounds, some great hiking trails, and a few tennis courts.
