The Polo Field has been my urban multi-tool for decades. I have used its dirt track for both running and contemplative walks. While San Francisco has a plethora of great walking routes, there is something uniquely meditative about walking around the Polo Field track. Maybe its the sweeping Vista or the lush grass or even the geese grazing on said grass? Whatever, its a great way to refresh the mind!

Nice bike track. Fairly smooth surface, approximately 0.6 mile loop, and not too busy. You might even get lucky and see a coyote like I did.PARENTS: This is a terrible place to teach your kid to ride a bike. People ride fast on this track and it can be dangerous if the proper etiquette isnt followed.

Green and sunny. It was the first time I was there. Not much to do, only watch at all the ciclist.

The polo field is kind of its own little oasis in Golden Gate Park, sunken into the ground with grass around, surrounded by trees. The paved track is good for a cycling workout. Running on the outer, hard-packed dirt track is also relaxing. Sometimes there are little kids on their bikes swerving about unpredictably. People also like to walk their dogs around the track. Saw a coyote hanging out on the grass hill one afternoon while there were people around.

Beautiful!!! So relaxing yet there is so much to and see.

Like the rest of the park crowded, and as the rest... Why doesnt the Parks department have more garbage cans

A great place to take a walk and watch soccers and frisbee games. There is a a sense of energy and positive vibes in the air.

Because its always nice quiet and peaceful st 5:30 in the morning.

Great size for many games and there are bathrooms on each side of the field. I participated in an Ultimate frisbee league here and the grass is well kept but sometimes muddy. I only wish there wasnt so much geese poop every where but it is a park. Bring a chair if you want to sit on the field.

Outside lands is one of my happy places!

Theres something for everyone here. Its just a wonderful place.

Great spot! Came here for Outsidelands and I really enjoyed the venue and the scenery. Pretty spacious and definitely a lot to walk through!

Great place to go for a run, walk your dog, and enjoy the sun (when there is sun). Organized sports also held on the field. Theres a dirt track at the top while theres a pavement road closer to the field for bicyclists. Part of Outside Lands is also held here.

Center for kids and your soccer in SF. Great location and exercise opportunities for parents while kids are getting their soccer fix. Good bike track and cross country track around the soccer fields

Iconic beautiful area. Known for its gardens museums Japanese tea garden Academy of Science. Can be pricey if not a member for museum. Check for FREE admissions days for nonmembers. Well worth the annual membership. Pays for itself in 2 visits. Many areas for long walks thruout the park. Garage parking convenient. Public transportation easy option.

Really nice for walking around

From outside the field looks good, big open field with grass! But, if youre playing, there are so many gopher holes everywhere! Two weeks in a row I saw a player get injured by stepping on those holes.I know the debate about grass versus synthetic, you might get a disease someday or getting a broken foot for sure.Its really cold there, but there is parking available.

You can cycle on a track reserved for cyclists, walk your dog, use the obstacle course, or sit in the stands on one side of the field. Its also a popular spot for league soccer games for kids and adults. You can check out the horses in the stable, and sometimes they take them out for a walk on the track!

Good place to run or to ride bicycles.

Great place to exercise dogs!!

Perfect place to catch a match. Beautiful park and surrounding grounds.

Because its a beautiful park And thats where they have the The OutSide Lands Festival every year

A nice dirt circle to run around forever. I love it

Great outdoor space thats often pretty empty. Nice dirt track for running or walking with a shaded outer loop if you prefer. The parking lot can get busy when the fields are in use but you can still park on middle drive and the track is rarely busy evenn on soccer days.

Great place to exercise or walk your dog. Theres also a par course adjacent to the polo fields. Never crowded during the weekdays.

So nice. Great workout spot. Go in the afternoon on a weekday. Have it all to yourself to really push your limit.

Nice spot to run or bike. They have an outside dirt track to jog around which is close to a mile around. The paved path is down on the field level and offers bikers a seamless track to spin it on. The fields themselves are used frequently and can be a little soggy and lumpy but theres tons of space. Good spot.

Cool place to visit when you are at the park

Never played on the pitch since it was redone, but I love running around it in the dirt track

A beautiful place where they dont play polo there anymore. The horse stables have been long been torn down. A field for soccer, a bike track, a X-County course for local high school kids and an annual festival, OutsideLands. Anyways bring a hoodie.

Best when Outside Lands is occurring #outsidlands2019

This is a great place to ride a bike as hard as you can without having to worry about vehicular traffic. It is closed some times because of futbol, but I can share.

Great place for a pic nic!

This place is a fairly uncrowded green island at the western fringe of what is the concrete jungle known as San Francisco. Peaceful to just hang out in. Decent parking availability too.

Golden Gate Park is funded by taxpayers, therefore Revenue generation for the polo fields- should not Trump the cycling track, therefore they need to put a crossover in for either cyclist to enter the track or Polo players to enter the field. Cyclists should not have to wait for the park who is once again funded by taxpayers to earn extra revenue on the Polo Fields. I am planning a trip to the city offices where I fully intend on addressing this situation anyone who wishes to band together! please find me on Facebook

Good place to workout jog, bike and ride horses

Great to cycle around. Fun to see shows there. Fields are terrible for soccer though.

Its beautiful.

They redid the track for cyclists. Fast and slow lane. The also patched some areas that were a little rough at high speeds. They have the schedule for soccer field on their sfparkrec site. Stands/benches are a little rough. The cycling track is closed anytime the soccer field is open. However the track is open when they water the fields, often leaving many parts of the track wet.. Which is unfortunate.

Its a field good for playing Pokemon go.

Good for cycling before soccer kids get there. Careful not to hit yellow barrier like I just did.

Its great to have grass Fields but its a shame they are in poor condition.

This is a beautiful park all by itself, separate from the main Golden Gate Park. The flora colors come out very nicely in a sunny day. Dogs are allowed to run loose, which makes it even better.

Wild fun, especially when theres a festival

Good place to jog,cycle, or see some Canadian Geese in the summer. Beware of horse poop on the outer track...

On January 14th, 1967 this was the site of the human be-in, the prelude to the famed summer of love and the psychedelic revolution. it was here on this non-descript field that thousands gathered in what would be the closest our country has come to a true cultural revolution.

Nice place to cycle on weekdays.

Nice sport place

The Polo Field is just a big field, whoch has been good for concerts and such, but Golden Gate park is a true gem, with so much to see, do, and enjoy...lakes, playgrounds, fields, gardens, museums, Japanese Tea Garden, bikes, bison, Botanical Gardens, Shakespeare Garden, food, hanging out, people watching, and lots of lovely spots.

Run, bike, play and more around this amazing space in the heart of Golden Gate Park. Theres always people exercising here.

Not well maintained, not good

Great place for jogging and biking. I take my dogs here all the time for a run.

Great place to run or play soccer.

Cant go wrong with GG Park!

Outside Lands pretty much says it all

Wonderful field.

Its a nice field

I was here for Outside Lands. Its where the main stage is located.

Nice forest in a city

Mike was helpful

I like walking there

I played flag football here. Super windy sometimes so bring a hoodie.

Decent field. The bathrooms are nasty though.

Nothing but smiles! Can get windy and chilly.

Good running place. Cool and comfortable.

Nice track and a 1970s-era Perrier-sponsored parcourse fitness trail that has a bunch of silly jumping jack, calisthenics, etc. stations, along with rings and pull-up bars.

Nice
