Pledge to Love Dolores
Make, print, and decorate your own LOVE DOLORES sign, take a photo with you and the sign, and post/tweet it with the hashtags #lovedolores and #dolorespark. Browse what neighbors have shared in the Love Dolores Gallery.
Eco-Popup
Every Saturday, Sunday and holiday from 12 noon to 8 p.m., take your trash and recyclables to the edge of the park at the corner of 19th and Dolores streets, where volunteers and staff will help you sort your materials into the correct bins. The Knights of Revery are quite delighted by it below.
Use the Can!
Aluminum cans are better than glass bottles. It’s better to throw your trash in the can, rather than not. And, well, can we all please hit the can, as well, rather than our beautiful grass? The Knights of Revery are on board, as well.

NEW DOLORES PARK
Everyone loves Dolores Park, and thanks to San Francisco voters who supported the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks bond, the park underwent a major $20.5 million renovation. Numerous community-driven meetings lead to the conceptual design of the improvement project. Input from local community members, neighbors, merchants, the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department, the San Francisco Department of Public Works, and other major stakeholders shaped the final design. The park fully opened in January 2016 with a light-up event. The park now includes:
- Restrooms with expanded capacity
- Renovated Tennis and Basketball Courts
- Multi-use Court
- Improved designated Off-Leash Dog Play Areas
- Bike Racks
- Improved Pathways
- Overlook area in the Southwest corner
- Improved Irrigation
- Improved ADA Access
- Improved 18th Street Entrance
- Compost on weekends during the summer time
- New plants, trees, and flowers
