McLaren Park
At 313 acres, McLaren Park, San Francisco’s second largest park, offers a wide range of both active and passive recreational opportunities. These elements range from trails and paths, to six playgrounds, five picnic areas, tennis and basketball courts, an amphitheater, natural areas, a clubhouse, an off-leash dog play area, golf course, reservoir, lake, marsh, baseball diamonds, and other amenities. The park has significant topographic changes, with over 425 feet of elevation change, and sweeping vistas of downtown San Francisco, the East Bay and San Bruno Mountain.
Shelley Promenade
Map Description: The Shelley Promenade is highlighted in bright green. This car-free pathway runs along Shelley Drive from the Upper Reservoir parking lot (near the blue water tower) to the park entrance at Cambridge Street. The Shelley Promenade is a pedestrian and bicycle pathway that provides a safe space for biking, wheeling, running, and walking. This half-mile stretch of former roadway is separated from vehicle traffic to prioritize recreation.
Phased improvements at Shelley Promenade will continue over the next several years. For more information on upcoming enhancements, visit the Shelley Promenade Project page .
