Great place to do soccer training or playing soccer. There are soccer leagues on Sundays so playing at the field might not be possible.

Field always has some space to play. Turf. Bathrooms are available to use. Lots of others walking around to get exercise. Good for my sons and me to go on their scooters and me on blades.

Amazing field and decent facility, but parking is no joke. If you have an event or game, show up 45 min early so you can park far away or better yet try to take a ride share here from some other parking area.

This Park encompasses a huge soccer field as well as a recreation center, basketball courts, Childrens playgrounds etc. Its a very welcoming park for the entire family or if you just want to get away and spend some time alone.

I like that theres always people there! Its very community based. Its nice to watch the soccer players practice while I can walk my dog around the paths. We run around the turf and play frisbee where no one else is using at night and it stays lit until 9 most nights. Definitely lucky we moved close by. Im so glad the center has so much to offer.

The fields are new and great (5 stars). What is not so great is parking - it is almost impossible to find parking. So you have to park far away or spent time circling around forever. There is a lot of drugs in this neighborhood. Kids smoking pots in the bushes. And neighbors asking if you want to buy stuff (all this only gets 0 star)

We havent used the Rec Center, but the playground and the soccer fields are so much fun! The big slide is a huge plus!

I grew up when this park was called Ocean View. The gym floor was red inside of the dome shaped building. Im glad to see the land wasnt sold to some land developer to make condosA part of history is still around for those of us who remember O.V.(The Good, The Bad & The Ugly).is still around.

Big open space. Parking sucks. The turf is weird, almost like a carpet. It plays very fast and I could see kids having a hard time if they practice there continually and dont ever get in practice on grass.

Great facility! Tiny Tots program, weekly librarian visits with story time for kiddos, weight/exercise room, indoor B-Ball court, recently renovated fields, and a playground built with 2 areas for kids aged 0-12.This facility also has amazing staff so dont be shy to stop by and ask a few questions. They also run a food bank on Tuesday mornings.

Nice place for a visiting soccer game, but parking is challenging. It has working, clean bathrooms that are open even on weekends. Fields are artificial in very good condition.

Review №29

Newly renovated Rec center takes up a full city block. Four artificial turf soccer fields are the biggest feature. The Rec Center building has a courtyard with basketball nets, restrooms, kitchens, and multipurpose rooms. The playground has a rubber base one small play structure, and 1 medium sized play structure, along with a lot of picnic tables and benches.

Located in the Ocean View area in San Francisco, The Minnie & Lovie Recreational Center is Just one block away from our house. I has a nice Little Park and a Huge Synthetic Turf Playground which my Son loves a lot.

The field is fine, but there is absolutely no parking here. Be prepared to have to scan for blocks around too find parallel parking

The recration center is a big space. Around residents usually went to here enjoy their time and do some exercise. But the parking is a serious problem.

Dont bother putting kids in these programs. The staff that works here doesnt know how to work with kids. they bring low class staff workers here that talk down to kids and intimidate the kids. They cuss kids out and speak slang to them and the director stand behind them. They should fire all staff.
