 A vista worth climbing to |
corner of Roosevelt and Museum Way San Francisco, CA 94114 United States +1 415 831 2750 http://www.ci.sf.ca.us/site/re... |
This is one of San Francisco's green spots that anyone can see from the street, but few know how to get to. Located adjacent to the Field Museum, this park is for those who enjoy the climb as much as the view. It will most likely be uninhabited save for wildflowers, dog walkers and urban explorers. Climb the path towards the rocks at the top of the hill and behold a grand view of San Francisco. Don't let the strong winds sweep away the moment, you can walk down the stairs and grab an ice cream on Castro Street. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sun & Sin |
18th & Dolores Streets San Francisco, CA 94114 United States +1 415 831 5520 |
This is one of the main hot spots in San Francisco, and is the major meet-up place for many San Franciscans. Though it is not very large, it attracts crowds of people and the beautiful views make it worth the visit. Recreational resources include a few tennis courts, basketball courts, two soccer fields, and a children's playground but most of all Dolores Park is often used as a venue for special events such as movies in the park. Its surrounding area is known for some of San Francisco's major culinary attractions: Delfina, Pizzeria Delfina and the Tartine Bakery. It is also a great place to chill with some ice cream from the Bi-Rite Creamery. Saturday hang-outs in the park are often events themselves; the park is always packed on weekends. Dolores Park is almost always sunny, the famous fog knows better than to ruin the oasis that is the park. Whether you choose to sit in Dog Beach (to the left at the bottom of the stairs), Hipster Beach (to the right at the bottom of the stairs, Speedo Ridge (top right of the park) or partake in actual activity at the playground or tennis courts you are sure to have a grand ol' time.

 Mission District's Namesake |
332 16th Street (at Dolores Street) San Francisco, CA 94114 United States +1 415 621 8203 http://www.missiondolores.org/ |
The northernmost of the California missions founded by Father Junipero Serra, this mission is the oldest structure in San Francisco, dating from 1788. Walk inside and it is like Spanish Colonial San Francisco beneath roof beams held together with rawhide strips. The graveyard includes the remains of both noble colonial families and the Native Americans who were conscripted to build and then serve the Mission. The museum houses artifacts and manuscripts. See website for complete visitor details. Review © 2007, Wcities |
