Oct. 27 2009: Why does it say the park is "two blocks tall by one block wide"? It's 4 blocks wide by one block tall, if you were standing at the "entrance on Dolores st. and 19th looking toward Church st. Look at the map. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.173.107 ( talk) 04:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
If you're standing on 19th St, one "block" in either direction would take you to 18th or 20th Sts, not Hancock or Cumberland. It makes more sense to define this area's city blocks in the north-south direction by the numbered streets, since named streets like Hancock, Cumberland, and Hill start and end inconsistently. -- 209.2.219.250 ( talk) 19:18, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
This photo is really unrepresentative of the park. First, it's a photo of 10% of the park, and not even from the top where the panoramic view can be found. Second, most of the photo is of a dry field. I suggest removing this photo and replacing it. I'll try to do this asap. — Viriditas | Talk 10:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Someone should update this article with information on the renovation and closure: SFist, Uptown Almanac, San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department (PDF) -- 209.2.219.250 ( talk) 19:22, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
I tip my hat off to DoloresParkLover! It's about time that somebody set the record straight behind the true history of Dolores Park's name. I was born in San Francisco in the 1970's, and have lived my entire life in the Dolores Park neighborhood. It's always been called Dolores Park as far back as I can remember. From what I was told by my parents and other family members, it was first called Mission Park after being vacated by the Jewish cemetery. Later on it was rechristened Dolores Park after Hidalgo and Dolores alongside the new statues dedicated in the 1960's. This sounds like a more plausible history than the Mission Dolores Park BS, as there exists no official city document proving it was named after "Mission Dolores Park". People sometimes believe in what they perceive as the truth, even if it means making up their own facts along the way. Thank god we have those two statues to prove the historical revisionists wrong!

I found much of this poorly written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.39.15.114 ( talk) 02:48, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
