Police spokesman Robert Rueca said Friday that investigators were looking into whether Thursday's shooting was gang-related, among other possible motives.
No arrests have been made, and two of the three people who were wounded are still hospitalized.
Rueca says police have stepped up patrols around the park in the rapidly gentrifying Mission District, which is transforming from a gritty area to a popular neighborhood of expensive homes and trendy bars and restaurants.

Police continued the hunt for a gunman who opened fire in a Mission District park crowded with parents, children and tourists on a warm summer's day, wounding three people and sending panicky people running for safety.
Investigators were trying to determine a motive for Thursday's attack, which turned normally peaceful Dolores Park into a chaotic scene of bleeding victims and fleeing visitors.
A man who identified himself only as Hatter said the attack came after park regulars confronted about a half-dozen men who were shouting and acting threateningly on a park bridge.
