A lovely place to picnic, with the iconic SF view. A wonderful place on a sunny day, to layout on the grass. Plenty of room for everyone!

There is a good ice cream shop nearby. Get some ice cream and bring it here during the summer.

Very popular picnic spot, just make sure to watch out for flying frisbees! This is a pretty park and a great spot to relax and people watch.

We picnicked here after getting ice cream. Then raced to the playground and hopped on the swings. Pretty fun place to walk through if you get tired of walking through the city sidewalks.

Amazing people watching. Bring a picnic, have a few drinks. If you don't bring drinks there are people selling "Adult Capri Suns" and coconut drinks! There are even people offering massages. Such a fun park with insane views!

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...

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...

Tank Hill

Looking for a cool, under-the-radar spot that’s perfect for picnics, chilling out, and chasing the sunset? Look no further than Tank Hill. This little gem of a mini-park is 650 feet high and tucked away in Cole Valley. It’s so small that many maps of San Francisco don’t even include it. To get there, drive to Belgrave Avenue and park on the street. Walk to the eastern end of Belgrave and you...

Twin Peaks Loop

There are a ton of ways to get here (and obviously that can affect the total distance) but this is starting from Clarendon. Follow along up Twin Peaks boulevard where you'll see the peaks upon your approach. Keep an eye out for traffic as there may be visitors driving toward and away from Twin Peaks. While hiking, be careful since there is poison oak. But other than that, just keep aware of wh...
