Dolores Park is served by the Church and 18th Street and Right Of Way/20th St stations of the J Church Muni Metro line, which operates in a private right-of-way on the park's west side.
There are six tennis courts and one basketball court; two soccer fields, a playground, and a clubhouse with public restrooms.
Dolores Park has been the neighborhood center for cultural, political and sports activities since the 1960s.
It has hosted political rallies, festivals, Aztec ceremonial dances, Cinco de Mayo celebrations, San Francisco Mime Troupe performances, and an annual "Hunky Jesus" competition on Easter by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
In 2010, it was announced that the park was to be closed throughout 2011 as part of massive renovations and a construction of a new playground.
In spring 2012, the new Helen Diller Playground opened in the park, featuring two large slides, two swing sets, a granite climbing structure, a sand box and climbing nets.
The playground is accessible to children with disabilities.
As of 2014, there were plans for two off-leash dog play spaces in the park, but these plans were stalled by an environmental appeal from a local resident who felt that the space should be left open to allow more room for children to play, with the goal of reducing childhood obesity.
Up to 2016, more than $20 million were spent on the park's first upgrades in six decades, including the installation of additional toilets to address problems with public urination.
