Join the Friends of the Polo Fields

Hello! This is primarily targeted to those who ride in/near SF, but we wanted to advertise it more widely since improving conditions for cycling is a universal goal for Alto Velo. Many of AV's SF-based riders frequently train at the Golden Gate Park Polo Fields Cycling Track. The track is a 0.75-mile asphalt oval for bikes only; it is the only long stretch of asphalt in the city without stop signs or traffic lights, without cars, and without pedestrians. It’s a unique resource for training and a very important component of the SF cycling scene for riders of all abilities. However, it’s in need of some maintenance and access improvements.

A few AV members and others in the SF cycling community are starting a group to improve this training ground. The “Friends of the Polo Fields” group will work with SF Rec and Park to improve safety/hours/conditions of the polo fields cycling track. Please join us, and share the invite link along to anyone else who enjoys the cycling track and wants to help make it better! This will be a low-effort, low-emails group.
