Description
Duboce Park has a nice little newly-renovated, fenced-in playground with rubber floor and a height perfect for toddlers. It is surrounded by gently sloping tiny hills and Victorian houses. People lay out in the sun here, or bring their small dogs for a walk. You can get off the N line here, and then walk up Pierce Street past its pretty Victorian homes to famous Alamo Square and the Painted Ladies. It's a nice stop on your way to Golden Gate Park, the Inner Sunset District, or Ocean Beach.
Dogs run off-leash in this dog-friendly area, on the southeastern end.
If you're hungry, walk from Duboce Park up Pierce Street, and then right on Haight Street. After two blocks, you will find Cafe International, which sells middle-eastern food and great homemade soups. Their sandwiches come on delicious bread from local bakeries. If it's sunny, sit out on the back patio. On Sunday it's particularly nice here from 4-9pm when they have live jazz music. Wifi internet access is available here for $5 a day.
