SF’s largest fenced dog park reopens!

The $2.4 million renovation of the Golden Gate Park Dog Training Area is complete, making it the premier puppy play area in the city. The trans-fur-mation includes brand new play surfaces, natural play equipment, pet drinking fountains and more.

San Francisco’s largest fenced dog park will re-open on Saturday, February 6, following a $2.4 million renovation that includes separate areas where big and small dogs can safely frolic, natural elements to climb and jump, and a new surface to run and play.

The Golden Gate Park Dog Training Area, near Fulton and 36^rd Avenues, boasts fetching new details such as a pet drinking fountain, wildlife-proof trash receptacles, and improved fencing. Natural elements, including eucalyptus trunks and climbable boulders, serve as agility equipment where dogs can unleash energy.

Human visitors will find new picnic tables and benches, a community message board, dog waste bag holders, a water bottle filler and improved accessibility along pathways and in the parking lot. Sand makes up most of the new surfacing. Synthetic turf with natural infill is also present.

The facility was established in 1905 in Golden Gate Park as a space where dog training clubs could practice their hobby. In the past several decades, the Golden Gate Park Dog Training Area has served as a fenced, off-leash dog park for everyone.

The city’s second mass COVID vaccination site opens Feb. 5 with hope of ramping up to 10,000 vaccines a day

Today, Friday, February 5, Moscone Center in San Francisco opened as a new high-volume vaccination site.

The site will initially serve health care workers and community members ages 65 and older, by appointment only and in accordance with the State’s prioritization plan. The site will eventually allow for vaccinations on a broad scale and at a dynamic pace once adequate vaccine supply is received from the state.

The Moscone Center’s spacious and accessible location is part of a network of high-volume vaccination sites organized by the City and County of San Francisco and health care providers. The consortium will enable partnering health care organizations to leverage resources and staff, align operations for efficient and safe vaccine delivery, and offer convenient parking for patients if needed.

The high-volume vaccination site at Moscone Center will open Friday at a lower vaccination capacity due to limited vaccine supply. All vaccinations will be by appointment only on the state’s MyTurn website for anyone eligible to receive the vaccine regardless of health coverage.

Once adequate supply of vaccine is distributed by the state of California, the Moscone Center site will be able to administer 7,000 to 10,000 COVID-19 vaccinations per day, depending on supply. Hours of vaccination will initially be limited but will ramp up and be available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Stay safe!
