The Polo Fields is a large multi-purpose stadium and sporting field in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.[2] Despite its name, polo is rarely played on the Polo Fields. The facility has a multitude of uses.[3] There are six regulation soccer pitches on the grass field, surrounded by a .67-mile cycle track.[4] Wooden bleachers flank the north and south sides of the cycle track surrounding the field.[5] Surrounding the grass field, cycle track, and bleachers is a 0.75-mile (1,210 m) dirt track used for running and horse riding.[6]
