Positive Reviews:
J. Mario Preza, CRB: ★★★★
As far as the fields go, they're great! Weather, well, what can you expect in San Francisco -- come prepared (with layers), unless you're a player, then get ready to sweat! LOL. But, what is a huge concern -- at the peak of the (soccer) playing season you'll be hard-pressed to find a spot unless you're driving a smart car or something small, and even then it is a challenge. A nice enough place that was updated and a popular place to kick the balls around... #TheBrokerWithAHeart
Vera Kravtsova: ★★★★★
Parking is hard there. Soccer field is amazing
Cesar v.: ★★★★★
Great place to do soccer training or playing soccer. There are soccer leagues on Sundays so playing at the field might not be possible.
Karla Mei Robertson: ★★★★
Good turf soccer fields with water fountains and restrooms. Playground and tennis/basketball are above at the north end. Parking can be a real challenge, especially when there are soccer games/practices. And it's windy AF.
Beverly Popek: ★★★★★
Excellent turf fields and gym facilities. Difficult parking but so is most of SF!
