Between Duboce Triangle and the Lower Haight sits Duboce Park, a park less than a block wide that runs two blocks from Steiner Street to Scott Street. The N Judah runs along its southern edge before ducking into the Sunset Tunnel.
A refuge after the quake
San Francisco Rec and Park says the park was established in 1900. After the 1906 earthquake, it became a tent city that sheltered displaced residents from all over the city. Today it is part of the Duboce Park Landmark District.
What's there now
- Dogs: Off-leash play is allowed in the multi-use area in the southeast section, which officially opened March 8, 2008, according to Wikipedia. Rec and Park says it's so popular that part of the park is now designated people-only.
- Kids: Improved play structures have separate areas for toddlers and older kids.
- Basketball: a fenced court that's in high demand
- Labyrinth: Along Scott Street, built by Friends of Duboce Park and completed in 2007, for meditation or a slow walk
- Harvey Milk Recreational Arts Center: At the west end of the park, it reopened after an expansion and renovation in June 2009, Wikipedia says.
The park also has restrooms, a picnic area and accessible parking, according to Rec and Park.
