Description

Added by Laura Hill

Enjoy a relaxing park in the heart of the city by the bay.

If you’re ever in San Francisco, you’ll definitely want to spend a bit of time in Alamo Square gazing at these stellar examples of San Francisco history.

This is a beautiful and popular green space, where you have uninterrupted views of the iconic Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are row of 6 Victorian homes, and are a frequent stop on San Francisco tour bus routes.

They’re colorfully adorned, and if you appreciate architecture, they are a spectacular example of that period’s design.

Alamo Square is also a fabulous place to bring a picnic lunch and spend a sunny summer day!

Location: 710–720 Steiner Street, San Francisco, CA

Great place to relax in the middle of San Francisco with views of the Painted Ladies. Grab a coffee at The Mill on Divisadero and head on up!

It's a famous place for pictures, but don't know if I'd go to SF just for this. It's a nice spot to hang out after getting food

Climb Beaver Street Wall

Beaver Street Wall is one of the few places to climb in the San Francisco city limits. The 45 ft. tall wall is located in the Corona Heights neighborhood, just north west of Market St. The routes on the wall range from 5.8 to 5.12. The wall features a prominent crack up the center, which makes this area climbable. The rest of the rock is very smooth and hard, making it a difficult climb. There ...

Corona Heights Park

Corona Heights Park is a park located north of the Castro and South of Buena Vista Park. The peak of the hill is windy, but it offers an unobstructed panoramic view of the city of San Francisco from downtown to Twin Peaks. It is perfect for taking panoramic pictures of San Francisco at night. You can enter the park next to Cafe Josephine or at the cross street between Museum Way and Roosevelt...

Park Day at Dolores Park

If the sun is shining, and you’re in the mood for playing around with friends in one of SF’s many amazing parks, Dolores should be at the top of your list. With amazing views of downtown, huge tiered lawn areas, tennis courts, basketball courts, a brand new playground, and easy access to some of the city’s best restaurants and cafes, it’s the epicenter of the weekend park scene.

Take a Ride on the Seward Street Slides

Tucked away in a small neighborhood park in Eureka Valley is a set of really fun, slippery, and surprisingly steep concrete slides. They were originally designed by a 14 year old kid over 30 years ago, and we all owe him a big hat tip. People use a variety of sliding materials (saucers, food trays, etc), but good ol’ cardboard is your best bet. You can usually find some lying around at the base...

Twin Peaks and Mt. Sutro Loop

Are you thinking, hit up two of the bigger peaks in SF, what a great idea? Well, you thought right! The first mile and a half is uphill as you charge to the top of Twin Peaks. This 6% grade leads to a 460 ft elevation gain. The good news is, if it's not foggy, the views of the bay are stunning, especially if you're running this route just before sunset. Once you get up to the parking lot at Twi...
