SPARK Gardens

I booked a bungalow for my daughter’s 7th birthday and having food trucks on site made it one of the least stressful parties I’ve ever thrown. We were able to purchase food tickets for everyone with no minimum, despite the rules needing to be updated on the site - our guest service coordinator was able to confirm that. As we ran over on clean up time, no one was policing or rushing us out of the tent and everyone was very accommodating and chill. In fact, three of my party guests planned on booking the site in the future after seeing how awesome the vibe was was. The only caveat is that it can get even hotter in the tent than outside on a nice day so any way to increase airflow in there would be much appreciated. Thank you for your awesome service and workers!

always great to host events here, but I must say this day was perfect in San Francisco! one of those rare 70 degrees nights, perfect as we had children of various ages in our group! can't recommend Spark Social enough!! fun for everyone!

Interesting recreational concept in San Francisco. A mixture of public playground, a food truck section, and an activities area that people can rent for birthday parties or for corporate team-building events. Plenty of good food from the food trucks, so that’s definitely the highlight. Parking can be difficult to find, as street parking is shared with several residential buildings.

I hosted a work event here and it was a great time! We rented a Bungalow, pre-paid for food and drinks so everyone had their own tickets, and bought some rounds of mini-golf. The Bungalow was a great home-base and so many food and drink options for everyone who came. My office has already requested we do it again next year!

My event guests definitely enjoyed our experience at the Parklab Gardens' Bungalow venue. The privacy allowed for our group to enjoy themselves without being distracting to other groups nearby. Jules was very helpful when I had to cancel a previous date. I was credited for a future date within a year. Leah helped me out with coordinating and scheduling a new date for my end-of-the-year staff party. Ultimately, all the guests enjoyed the venue and variety of food. The TV was eventually used for Karaoke. I actually recommend having these bungalows have access to some sort of karaoke device for an additional charge. That would the experience even more incredible. Thank you, again!

Customer service was friendly and helpful. We purchased a meal ticket plan. While the tickets were a bit clunky to distribute to our guests, they provided great options for food. The attendant assigned to monitor our area was very friendly and efficient. We will be back.

A clean area with benches and a few food trucks. There are reservable seating spaces for people who would like privacy or guaranteed seating. It leads directly into a miniature golf area. The food trucks I purchased from had decent food and if you're not happy with the selection, Spark Social is literally across the street. Overall, a nice place for a bite or drink.

Newest spot, must see. Such a great ambience. I can only imagine this place when it’s not raining. Great hangout tents, food, drinks, putt putt golf and more! Plus you get a 2:1 deal with Sparks right next door, see my other review. Totally worth visiting if you are young or with family kids and dog.

boyfriend and i hosted a birthday party at one of the bungalows here this weekend. we had a great time with our friends in the space. it came with a TV and two heaters to keep our guests warm. it was very comfortable! my only downside was that we couldn't find anyone to give us a remote for the TV, which was a shame. otherwise the event went off without a hitch!

We stopped in for lunch one overcast afternoon. A friend from work told me about the place. We got a great draft beer and some amazing food and good prices. Are outside and just took the whole place in. The service and staff at all the different food trucks and other offerings were very friendly and helpful. They have reservable spaces for larger parties. I'd love to rent one with friends before a show at the chase center, which is a very short walk away from it. They also have a mini golf course. I'll have to go back and try it. Next time! This is a recommendation for this place if you are in the area. It's a nice change of pace. Cons -The bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. They were a mess and hardly worked at all. It was the only downside and why I gave 4 stars.

The have great events here throughout the year. I was just recently here for the rose wine event and it was wonderful. They always have great food trucks with plenty of space for everyone to sit down and relax. Kids and dogs are most welcome!! easy to get here through public transportation. It's always clean here and like I said, the food trucks here are great. They are changing all the time. You can even host a party here too.

I attended a birthday party here where a few tents were reserved and each guest got some food truck vouchers. Lucky for us, the weather was optimal. If you stay under the cabanas, you're 100% guaranteed shelter from the sun and wind. Parklab is actually just a quieter version of Spark Social, which is right across the street, where most of the food trucks are located. There is mini golf available at Parklab but the customer service was very lacking. Honestly they should really do a better job with hiring young people -- they act like they couldn't care less about you participating or not... UHH HELLO, you want more people so that you actually have a job... We checked out a variety of things and I wrote individual reviews for each place we tried.

Parklab Gardens is a great space to entertain kids, (sit on a tiny train), bored teens, (photo booth), & adults (mini-golf). Pick up your clubs at the on-site cabin. Not free. The grown-up lounge area is complete with open air tent, comfy chairs and a fire pit. Green space! Yeah, i'd like to see how long that would last in the Tenderloin, or pretty much anywhere else than this pristine planned community, directly across the street from a giant food truck roundup. If the food truck area is too crowded, there's plenty of space at Parklab Gardens to eat your take-out. I have to say, I'm a bit perplexed by the back portion which looks like a tourist trap you'd find in the Arizona desert. Ye old Wild West faux town. There's the Barbary Coast "Saloon". Funky wood signs for the Watering Hole, and Boom & Bust Course. (btw, it's Boom OR Bust). Anyway, i'm kind of jealous.

First found out about Parklab Gardens through a Yelp Elite Event during the pandemic. After that event, I actually came back a few times (sometimes by myself, with the hubby, and sometimes with our pup), but I didn't get to play miniature golf on any of those times. So when my out-of-town friend came to visit me recently and wanted to do a girls day together, I thought it would be so fun to book a tee time at the Stagecoach Greens for us. And yes, we both loved it! What a fun way to start our day! We got there for one of the earlier tee times and we had so much fun! This mini golf course resides inside Parklab Gardens. There's also a bar cart, the Watering Hole, and various other food carts within it. There are also cabanas you can rent for bigger groups. Perfect for parties, group events, and team building events. Also, Parklab Gardens is across from Spark Social, so lots of food trucks to try within walking distance.

If I could give it zero stars I would. The bathrooms are damn gender neutral, the doors and walls are NOT floor to ceiling and the damn LOCKS DONT LOCK!! DONT come here!!!

I have been to multiple events at Parklab Gardens from foodie events, to matcha fest, to a recent political gathering I attended here and I am never disappointed. It is a beautiful space, centrally located with lots of parking nearby and transportation options. There are lots of food options and space to sit and enjoy the day or a snack or a chat with a friend or all of the above. I get excited when I hear something is going to be happening here and I can't wait until my next visit.

Visited the Parklab Gardens less than an hour before closing time on a Saturday, and the best part was no waiting for anything... though some trucks, such as Rasa Rasa, were already closed. We enjoyed a shrimp caesar salad and fried mac n cheese balls from the Chef's Truck, and the brussel sprouts and fish taco from Domingo's International Kitchen & Fusion, and agreed that these dishes were generous in size and very tasty. We also got a couple drinks from the Watering Hole, and these were made well and perfect for our late night meal. We stayed till closing time, the place was fairly empty, but remained well-lit with some visitors still playing mini golf until late. I feel like this spot is just an extension of Spark Social across the street, with Parklab Gardens seemingly more spacious or spread out. Nothing too outstanding or unique about this food park, but it offers a clean and beautiful setting and food options that didn't disappoint this past weekend.

Got invited to a birthday party and this is where they hosted the event. Such a cute place!! There's a golf play area and plenty of picnic tables to sit at. There are about 10 food trucks at the Parklab Gardens (Mexican, Filipino, donuts, poke, halal- just to name a few) and a truck that serves margaritas and drinks! This reminds me of Off the Grid but much better! Across the street, there's tons of other food trucks as well. For some reason, it's much busier there today but maybe cause there's more food choices? Either way, food prices are reasonable and it's a good place for date night, random weekend getaway or to host any event! We found street parking about a block away and walked.

GREAT place to host an adult birthday party. I rented out a bungalow for a party of about 15 people. Easy process. They offer food truck tickets ($2/ticket I think) but there's no refunds for any unused tickets so I opted out of it. For the drink truck, you can open a tab. Loved that feature. The Gardens: You can't bring outside food, but you can bring dessert/cake, which is what I did for my husband. The place is full of food trucks. There's 2 green spaces right next to each other filled with trucks so you have your pick at whatever you want to eat. On the side with the bungalows, there's a mini-golf course (huge course btw, nothing mini about it) called Stagecoach greens that you can separately buy tickets for. So attendees can go play and chill at the bungalow when they're tired. The Bungalow: There's several sized bungalows/tents. I went with the one that fit 25people. It was actually the perfect size for us to spread out as everyone had on coats and etc. This one came w a TV equipped w youtube so you can play music videos in the background. Dog friendly, which to me was a huge plus so we can spend the birthday with our dogs.

Great for group happy hour or gathering. Reservable cabanas. When I last went a couple years ago, I remember the food truck selection to be limited but seems like they had a few more options on weekday evening. Mini golf on one side - never played before but looks fun.

Parklab Gardens is located in the Mission Bay area. They are right across from the Spark Social SF food truck park and they are open every day from 11 AM - 9 PM. They have outdoor dining, food trucks, a beer garden, and a mini golf course. They have different lounge areas that you may book/reserve for private parties as well. There were a lot of food choices in this vicinity between here and across the street. I looked around before choosing Domingo's International Kitchen & Fusion on this side for lunch and Virtual TeaKup from the other side for my boba/dessert. They also had a Domingo's food truck on the Spark Social side as well. This was a nice little area to look and walk around, while waiting for our food.

Parklab is a concept and a collective that recognizes the potential to create open space experiences with both temporary and long-term durations. This garden has few food trucks and a mini-golf play field.

Located not too far from the Chase Center & Oracle Park, right across the street from Spark Social SF is this outdoor area where you can rent tents, cabanas, and areas to host an outdoor party. There is a mini golf area within it too. I easily rented a cabana for a Saturday morning brunch event during a bachelorette. You reserve online and pay, and you're only allowed to bring water and cake but you can get anything else from the food trucks on this side or at spark social. It allows for people to have options. Dogs are welcome and perfect for all ages. From coffees, ice cream, to drinks and desserts. They have a variety of Asian, Hispanic, and American food trucks. I really enjoyed the mini donuts at the park lab greens side. And they have plenty of vegan/vegetarian options. Parking can be difficult, it's mainly street parking so you have to drive around a bit to get lucky. Or you can park in some neighboring parking lots and pay hourly, I usually park at the parking lots off of Nelson rising lane; I think they're the medical office building lots. Some people park at the chase center parking too.

We came here for a birthday under the cabana and other shaded areas with a petting zoo and it was awesome. Plenty of space to chat and mingle while the kids ran around. My son brought his scooter and loved it. We saw another party have a bouncehouse. We will come back!

Excellent event and venue. Specious so everyone can "social distance". Lots of really nice food trucks with a wide Vado of offerings. I chose Wicked Star pork belly and was really pleased. They ran out of the crab fried rice and the coffee so unfortunately I couldn't have either. I recommend visiting and spending an afternoon here.

A great place to host a corporate event... -

This spot is pretty cool. My friend reserved a tent for his partners birthday party and what an atmosphere it was. Just moments away from the SF Giants stadium, you can rent small spaces to hang out with friends and celebrate special occasions. What is awesome is that oh don't have to worry about food or drinks. Surrounding the tents are a plethora of food trucks, eating from healthy optima, different cultural cuisines, desert and alcohol. The atmosphere is great to enjoy people watching, hanging out with friends and being in the city. Unfortunately, the parking is the negative part, hence the 4 star rating. We were there on a Saturday and they charge parking until 10pm (maybe because the Drake concert was also happening simultaneously?) AND, the parking is expensive so be ready to pay! Otherwise great place and we will be back!

We hosted a big birthday party at Parklab Gardens. The staff were amazing to work with. They responded promptly and helped me organize food (open tabs with wrist bands), drinks (satellite station), outside vendors, equipment, etc. The entire time, they were calm, kind, and always helpful. The event went smoothly and the 100+ guests (age 6 months to 80 years old) were all praises. Highly recommended!

We attended a friend's 40th birthday party here -- at first the crowds threw me a bit (have to get used to that again!) --but people were masked. And once we were sitting in my friend's "cabana" (tent) it was very relaxing. A great place to have your late-stage pandemic, post vaccinated get-together. Found street meter easily about a block away on a Saturday afternoon, but who knows if that might change with uptick in traffic/business.

A very cool outdoor area to gather (socially-distanced and safely). There are two sides of Parklab Gardens, divided by a street. There's a smaller side with about 4-6 food trucks and across the street is a much larger area with 10-15 trucks and much more seating. There are cute areas for seating, some with fire pits and some with swinging seats and some tables with standing room. In the larger area, behind all the trucks is a large expanse of grass with picnic tables where you can eat your food. It looks like you can reserve seating though not sure how. I went at 11:45AM on a Saturday and there were a decent amount of people but nowhere near as packed as I would imagine a place like that to go. All the food trucks had hand sanitizer and required masks for service. The options for food were diverse. I ended up getting Hookt (tocino sandwich and mochi donuts) and Domingos (quesabirria tacos). There's also a bar in the larger area.

Extension of the food trucks across. Mini golf course available and can be availed by purchasing online. One truck offers happy hour for certain drinks. Excellent place to spent time with family and friends. Social distancing , mask, sanitizers around the court is a plus. Parking is a little problem, but just look around and you'll fine one on the streets. Not too crowded today, July 17,2020. It gets windy and cold around 5pm. A gem, a place to visit!

The crowds may look a little daunting but book yourself a bungalow with 25 of your closest vaccinated friends and feel safe within the confines of your space, complete with a 72-inch TV. A variety of food trucks and some cocktail options are nearby--I ran into a watermelon white sangria and nursed a couple of those while exploring both food and non-food vendors across the street at Spark Social. Chef's Truck was steps away from our bungalow and we enjoyed the crab sandwich and mac and cheese balls. The pork belly sandwich was only OK. Clean bathrooms and miniature golf on the grounds make this a family and dog friendly venue.

Love the atmosphere here. So full of vibrancies. Love their seating areas and food truck selections! Great for family time.

Convenient, lots of food choices,Love the Food truck idea..... The food at Rasa Rasa was delicious ! Also Sarap Sarap..

While biking around Mission Bay today, I stumbled upon this amazing place! I didn't expect to find such an enchanting place like this in this part of the City. There was a really cool miniature golf course, food trucks and some huge tents where you can sit back and relax. I plan to invite some friends to play some golf here.

Amazing place to host birthday party or company event permitting the weather is nice and sunny. We had company quarterly event and all employees had blast. We rented a cabana and the kids played Golf and it was amazing! SFs new best kept secret will not be one for long! They have great success in turning vast, empty space into meaningful hangout designs. They have outdoor community gym, a garden, a mini golf course, and a food truck court. Mission Bay is thriving in large part because of these open spaces. The place was very relaxing and great vibes. People are friendly, the pets are friendly and comfortable lounging area.nice place to spend the day.

Nice tucked away food truck spot where these eateries congregate. It's fenced off. There were some shady tented areas with loud music and tv screens. Overall, you order food from the trucks and go pick it up to eat on a park bench. I would recommend it but they need water stations. Parking is $5.00/hour around the area.

Pretty goddamn good. Lots of activities, food and fun times. Highly recommend.

Rented a cabana for my team for Sept 19, 2022 and we ordered from food trucks / bar + played mini golf. Jules and her team + stagecoach Greens + Spark Social SF were responsive to all of my inquiries. This was a lovely event and my team had an absolute blast! Highly recommend.

Recently rented a cabana for a birthday party and it was awesome! The reservation process was simple and Erica was very responsive and accommodating to our requests. The cabanas were clean and spacious, the bungalows were huge and had TVs in them. Overall a clean nice space close to Chase Center and Oracle Park. Lots of food trucks to choose from and a fun mini golf course.

The mini golf booking is a pain, and they sneak an extra fee on at the very end. Pretty excessive for the most sub par mini golf. Oh yeah, just go to sub par.

This place is amazing! It's right across from Spark Social Park. They have a few more food trucks, a mini golf course (towards the back) and have other recreational activities. It's a great place to have company events, parties, and an overall awesome place to hang out with friends or family. It's kid friendly too. They also have tipi tent-like cabanas that are spacious that can be rented out. My family and I enjoyed it so we look forward to coming back another day.
