Standup paddle board (SUP), kayak and water sports sales, rentals, classes, camps, and experiences based at Crane Cove Park in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood.
Dogpatch Paddle began as a community club during the height of the pandemic. When Crane Cove Park opened in Sept of 2020, the club was founded to connect local paddlers for the purpose of sharing information on safety, routes, environment, techniques, connections and gear. Now, over 1200 local members strong, Dogpatch Paddle Club is a voice for our community and a social club with regular, free events.
From these humble beginnings we responded to the call from our members for services like rentals, lessons, youth programs, and storage. In April of 2021 we opened the Dogpatch Paddle Shop to provide these services and added in retail sales. Today, we are the thriving heart of the Crane Cove Community, hosting hundreds of kids into our youth camps, and teaching locals and visitors alike the techniques, safety, and joy of paddle sports.
Looking forward, we have partnered with the YMCA of San Francisco in our successful proposal for Building 49 at 701 Illinois Street, inside Crane Cove Park. After four years of dreaming, planning, and implementing, we opened our doors in February 2025. Come join us for the greatest adventures in San Francisco.
