The field guide to San Francisco's dog parks.
The Rocks Dog Park is a small, fenced off-leash area on Yerba Buena Island at 120 Yerba Buena Road. Terraced into the steep slope between Macalla Road and Yerba Buena Road next to Infinity Point, it was dedicated as a public park in 2023 and is one of the newest dog parks in San Francisco.
The park is built on two levels. The upper level is reached from Yerba Buena Road, with stairs or a sloped walkway leading down to the lower level. Its design uses salvaged native rock, reclaimed eucalyptus wood, and native plants, and boulders create slopes and nooks for dogs to explore.
Island residents and visitors looking for a secure, characterful space for a short play session. Dogs who enjoy climbing and sniffing around rocks will love the terraced design.
The park mainly serves the island's growing residential community, so it's rarely crowded. Expect the most activity in the mornings and early evenings.
