You may recognize Alamo Square Park from Full House or the countless pictures of the Painted Ladies on Instagram, but this park never fails to live up to expectations. Alamo Square Park is a San Francisco staple with no shortage of beautiful views, people watching, or family friendly activities.

A hilltop park with views overlooking downtown San Francisco and the famous Painted Ladies, Alamo Square features many things to do. There is a full tennis court, plenty of walking trails and benches, flower beds, and a dual-level kids’ lot that had six swings, three slides and a pair of climbing structures. The upper level is for older kids (age 5-12), while the lower level is for the younger ones (age 2-5). Wheelchair access is available at the gate leading into the upper level. Dogs are permitted in the park, however, they must remain on-leash on the eastern side of the park. They are allowed to run off-leash in the dog play area on the western side.
