On the other side of Mission, just a few houses plus six lanes of traffic away, the historic Lincoln Park offers a place for picnics, for biking, for skating, for racing horses, for swimming, or for the young at heart to partake in one of the many organized activities hosted by the Parks and Recreation department. The park is big, the park is usually crowded, and it provides a steady flow cars containing park-goers looking for unoccupied parking places to swoop down on.
