Keenan PattersonSeptember 7, 2014Great park for picnicking or just hanging out in general. Went to a movie night here and while crowded, it was still a great time.
We love to sit in the shade here during the day, it's a friendly park, good for groups, families, or just to relax on your own.
Nick IssaSeptember 22, 2013Bring your drink, your snacks and great attitude cause this is a great place to hang out and people watch- pets are welcome with responsible owners...- The heart of North Beach, in the shadow of Sts. Peter and Paul Church. A great place to hang out, sip a coffee, and people watch. There are also regular art shows here.
Kelly StrodlSeptember 9, 2011Should you want to see one of the most crowded but beautiful areas of the city. Probably only park w/o a radiant view hovering above the city around it, it's actually a low-set 1, but views nearby.
DoniaJune 27, 2013Come early and watch all the little old Asian ladies do aerobics, Thai chi, fan dancing, and jazzersize.
Shelly ShakhmanJuly 13, 2016The vibe, the sun, the bells ringing from the church. Amazing place to chill and hang
Get a soda cup from Tony's Slice House pour your beer in it for under cover drinking - or just do it openly, the worst that'll happen is a cop telling you to pour it out.
Tom EvansApril 7, 2013Perfect place to relax after climbing all them hills! :-) Sip a water or coffee, sit back and people watch.
The San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation hosts a couple movies in the park over the summer. Bring your blanket and bottle of wine!
Dmitrii CalzagoDecember 31, 2013Never noticed a playground in the north-west corner until a visit with a toddler. More old-school than most: no plastic. Four baby swings.
- Benches on the filter steet side (near the church) are quiter and get more sun. Get there early for some tai chi
- Rob RayOctober 28, 2011Little bit of everything, right in the heart of North Beach! Grab some food and drinks, then make friends with some of the other people out here...
Nice little park with things going on every weekend. Great food places all around it.
MJ De La CruzApril 22, 2012Great place to have a bottle of wine. But beware of people tossing balls, they usually don't aim well.
- Grab a coffe and croissant from the italian bakery at union and green and watch Tai chi here on a Sunday morning
Great spot to sit and people watch. It's extremely crowded when the sun comes out!
Alberto J S Moreau DOctober 31, 2013A good area filled with good restaurant to enjoy and have a good time- Come early in the morning to listen to sick beats while you have group workouts.
When it's not too cold or dark, there's usually a group of dog owners who hang out while the pups play. Ramona the Love Terrier is a regular.
Portable toilet located on Filbert St. Directly across the church.
NmMay 31, 2020Gorgeous & lovely rectangular-shaped park .. Great outdoor destination to visit while in San Francisco !!
- Park etiquette: Its fine if you want to stand up, but don't block my sun.
- Keenan PattersonJune 16, 2015The park is not a square. The statue is not of Washington. I guess Jefferson Trapezoid Park wasn't a good name?
Joe GratzSeptember 25, 2010Bathrooms at the church are usually open. Enter through the door on the left. And give them a donation.
My kid just stepped in your dog's shit. Please scoop the poop.
