Coyote Sightings

Much like the neighboring Presidio, we have seen an increase in the presence of coyotes in the area. Warning signs have been posted at the park and people are encouraged to keep their pets on a leash and leave the area if a coyote approaches. Coyotes are generally afraid of people and can usually be scared off by a shout or waving your arms.

  • If reporting a threatening wildlife situation, call San Francisco Animal Care and Control: 415-554-6364; e-mail ACC.dispatch@sfgov.org.

  • To report a non-emergency coyote sighting, e-mail the date, time, location and any other details of the sighting to: ACC@sfgov.org. SFACC maintains a data base of these tracking reports.

  • If reporting evidence of vandalism, call San Francisco Park Rangers: 415-242 6390

  • If reporting a physical safety issue or hazardous situation in the park, call 311
