Sports Basement
Reviews
The best Sports Basement location. They have bathrooms right in the front. Close to running in Crissy Fields and the Golden Gate Bridge. You can spend hours there it is so big. Some people drop their kids off in the front kids area and leave them there to play. Lots of parking available. Sometimes they close off part of the parking area for race events.
sports basement is like the trader joe's of sporting equipment, here are the reasons why: 1) competitive pricing: the prices are too good to be true. the same pair of asics i bought elsewhere was much cheaper at sports basement. 2) selection: a bit limited just like trader joe's, but overall, good enough merchandising, you'll probably find what you're looking for 3) service: great service and knowledgeable staff 4) mom & pop: it's got a rugged feel. no fancy branding, no unnecessary advertisements to cloud your judgment. there's even a kiddie play area to keep the children entertained :) because of the awesome prices the sizing is a bit limited... but did i mention i walked out of sports basement with 4 pairs of uggs? oh yes, i did.
This place has a large quantity of sporting goods and knowledgeable staff that are very accessible and helpful. I found a pair of running shoes that I liked and they didn't have them in my size so they ordered them to the store the next day. I've also bought a few items that didn't work as well as I would have liked and they took them back used. Their moto is to take back things that you aren't satisfied with, which is great!
We LOVE Sports Basement! They always have the best prices on soccer gear for our 3 boys! We have also purchased swimming goggles, baseball gear, training suits, and more there. The prices are great, and once in a while the sales are really worth it! "BEST IN THE CITY!" - Voted by the Williamson family!
My favorite place to meet up with friends before a bike ride across the Golden Gate bridge en route to Sausalito and Tiburon. If you haven't biked Paradise Loop, you're missing out! Fill up your water bottles and pump up your tires here and you'll be good to go. Lots of free parking. Tons of gear to shop to your sporty hearts' delight. Huge amount of bike, running and swimming clothes, gear and accessories.They often have shopping partieis and discounts, so keep an eye out for that. They also have 10% corporate discounts, so remember to ask.
