A broad, tiered staircase climbs the terraced southern slope of this steep hillside park; when you reach the top, you will find panoramic views of the City and Bay. Trees and benches crown the summit, while nearby are a children’s playground, a basketball court, tennis courts and an off-leash dog-play area.

Dog Run Foxtail Weeding Party Recap

On May 4, in conjunction with a city-wide dog area clean-up campaign, a dozen hearty and enthusiastic volunteers removed a considerable amount of foxtails from the Southside dog run terrace.  This invasive weed poses a very serious threat to pets.  The plant's barbed seed heads can invade the nose or burrow between the toes and inside the ears, eyes, and mouth and even dig directly into the skin.
