Park Activities

With more than 200 parks, recreation centers and public open spaces, San Francisco's green spaces hold something for everyone. Parks improve our quality of life, and are an indespensible source of respite and recreation in our hectic urban lives. Whether you are looking for a place to run or bike, to learn how to turn a ceramic bowl, to volunteer at your local park, or to visit one of the many cultural institutions in Golden Gate Park, you can find it through ParksPortal.

The San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department (RPD) offers classes and recreation opportunities ranging from sports, exercise, and swimming to cooking, arts and crafts, and dance. You may browse ParksPortal for offerings from RPD as well as from neighborhood groups, non-profit organizations, and individuals using the icons below or visit parksportal.com
