Possibly one of the most visually stunning picnic spots in the world—the Golden Gate Bridge is right in front of you—this spot near Crissy Field (also featured on this list) doesn’t come equipped with a grill, so you’ll have to bring your own. But they do have picnic tables, so there’s that.

They provide both picnic tables and grills. Just get there early because the place fills up right-quick, especially during holiday weekends. It also features a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Beautiful place to chill.

Is a park a beach? Sure, why not. This "park" provides charcoal grills should you be so inclined, or you can bring your own. And at the risk of making any hot dog puns, this is also one of San Francisco’s nude beaches. Be sure to cover up any private bits that might fall victim to grease splatters from the grill.

For true downtown city dwellers, the place to go when the sun breaks through is Yerba Buena Gardens. Not the best spot for grilling, but ideal for a picnic. It features expansive lawns, pocket gardens, terraces and plazas, and views of St. Regis Tower, St. Patrick's Catholic Church, and the Four Seasons.

The recently renovated, oval-shaped park (the oldest in San Francisco, dating back to 1852) has a fresh look and new features. Helmed by award-winning design firm Fletcher Studio, the new park comes with a new jungle gym for the kids, picnic tables, and wide swaths of grass. Close proximity to AT&T Park also makes it in ideal spot for a pre-game picnic.  

There are so many places in Golden Gate Park to grill up some meat that they have a dedicated site showing you where they all are. But the best way to BBQ here is to bring your own. The entire park is ideal for it.

We recommend hitting up the areas near Stow Lake; the windmill; or the buffalo, gifts to the park from Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

This is a tough one. While almost anything and everything goes at the city’s most popular park—from the selling of cannabis-laced truffles to semi-nudity—the park doesn’t come equipped with BBQs (and portable grills are not allowed at Dolores Park). Just be sure to clean up your mess. Seriously.

Picnic area near the children’s playground make this an excellent spot for family-grilling time. Even without a family, it's an excellent (and woefully underrated) park. Grills not provided; bring your own. Bring your dog, too.

This small Bernal Heights park provides its own grills, not to mention choice views of the city. It also has areas for baseball, basketball, and tennis should you want to work off those five chili hot dogs. Great for families.

Great alternative to the city’s more populated park, Bayview allows for charcoal grilling. Also of note? The excellent views of the bay.
