China Basin Park

China Basin Park is a five acre waterfront green space in San Franciscos Mission Bay and South of Market area, set along McCovey Cove directly across from Oracle Park. The parks Great Lawn, sandy shoreline, Bay Trail access and amphitheater style seating make it a popular stop for baseball fans, families, dog walkers and visitors who want sweeping views of the Bay Bridge and city skyline, so the surrounding streets can feel especially busy on game days and weekends.

Because the park sits within the growing Mission Rock mixed use neighborhood, local traffic and demand for curb space are often high, and street parking can be limited or subject to time limits, meters and neighborhood regulations that visitors must observe to avoid tickets. Planning parking near China Basin Park in advance helps drivers avoid circling busy blocks, arrive on time for meetups or games and enjoy the waterfront without rushing. Travelers should always review the latest city parking rules and official local guidance before they go, as regulations and availability can change.
