Located in Pine Lake Park and adjacent to the large dog field is Stern Grove. It's not as open as the field area, but a pleasant place to walk as well as catch a show. Judging from the number of times Doggie stopped to sniff, I think there's tons of dogs that a pass through here but it's also spotless and free of dog doo. I prefer the West side of the park, but Stern Grove sure is a pretty place!
Doggy loves going to Stern Grove. There are so many other dogs (off-leash) running around and exploring. If I trusted her to get along with the other dogs, I'd let her off-leash too. The Eucalyptus trees smell really nice and it's nice to feel like you're out of the busy city. It's a gorgeous day in SF, I might just take her there today!
