If you live in Park Merced, you will appreciate this spot. Right in the middle of Juan Bautista Circle is a circular park with large trees and grass. There are benches to sit on and the spot is well-maintained. It's a nice place to walk by. You'll often find people jogging or walking their dogs here.
Robert Pender Park is owned by Parkmerced Investors, LLC.
Per SF Board of Supervisors this area was named "Robert Pender Park" on Robert Pender Day May 3, 2009.
