Crocker Amazon Dog Play Area is one of the largest off-leash destinations in San Francisco, located at Moscow and Geneva Streets within the expansive Crocker Amazon Playground complex. With two separate off-leash zones — one behind the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater and another at Mansell Street and John F. Shelley Drive — dogs have an extraordinary amount of room to run, explore, and stretch their legs.

Terrain & Layout

The off-leash areas span large, open fields and trails with a mix of grass and dirt surfaces. The terrain is mostly flat to gently rolling, with open grassy expanses ideal for running and fetch alongside natural dirt trails for exploration. The two separate dog areas provide options — the section behind the amphitheater is more open and expansive, while the Mansell Street area connects to trail networks. Both areas are unfenced, so reliable voice control is essential. The sheer acreage means dogs have virtually unlimited room to roam.

Amenities

• Seating: Benches and picnic tables throughout the park complex
• Water: A water fountain available on-site
• Parking: On-site parking available within the Crocker Amazon Playground complex
• Restrooms: Available on-site within the larger recreational complex
• Lighting: The adjacent soccer fields are lighted, but the off-leash areas themselves have limited lighting

Best For

High-energy dogs who need extensive room to run and explore. The massive size makes this ideal for dogs who feel cramped in smaller parks. A vital resource for dog owners in the Excelsior and Crocker-Amazon neighborhoods who might otherwise face a long trip to other off-leash areas.

Busy Times

Weekend mornings are the busiest, particularly when soccer and other sports are not in session on the adjacent fields. Weekday mornings and late afternoons draw neighborhood regulars. The park's large size means it rarely feels overcrowded.

Tips

• The recreational complex also includes soccer fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, and bocce courts — great for families wanting multiple activities
• Try both off-leash zones to see which your dog prefers
• On-site parking and restrooms make this one of the more convenient large off-leash areas in the city
