Nice park, not so amazing from the dog perspective. Located in the heart of North, Beach Washington Square Park is a green oasis in an otherwise concrete metropolis. The reason it's not a great dog park is the following:
1. Not enough acreage
2. Crowded, and full of crazies. Be sure to keep a close eye on your dog.
3. Ridiculous on-leash rules
4. Surrounded by busy streets.
Hope this helps

Loved this park when I lived less than a block away. So did my dog, but it was also her toilet so why wouldn't she love it.
I have so many memories of sun tanning, picnicing, jazz fests, crazy capture the flag game full of people all dressed as super heros and ninjas, and watching the Columbus Day Parade and Blue Angels with the mutt and husband, and the Italian guy who plays guitar and rocks out to Smashing Pumpkins "Killer in Me":
The keeeeeee-lar in me is the keeeelar in you.....
I have two not so fun memories:
1. homeless guy that poos in the bushes (and not in the bathrooms several feet away) who leads me to the discovery that my dog in fact will seek out and eat human poo.
2. The weird marshal guy who stands in the corner watching us dog-owners for off-leash behavior and threatening to write tickets. The thing is dude, we leash our dogs as soon as we see you, and we unleash them right away when you leave, so keep up your watch if you need to, we're not gonna listen! Our well-behaved dogs (please ignore item one on this list) deserve a tiny bit of leg stretching.
