Facts – Stretching across more than 45 city blocks, the park is bordered by Lincoln Avenue to the south, Fulton Avenue to the north, Stanyan Street to the east and the mighty Pacific Ocean to the west. The park is most easily accessed off 19th Avenue. Since parking is often difficult, public transportation is the best way to go. – – Features – Go any day, any time, although Sundays are especially nice because cars are not allowed on John F. Kennedy Drive, the park's main thoroughfare. Golden Gate Park offers gardens, lakes, waterfalls, a Victorian conservatory, a…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Dogs can run freely at four off-leash locations in the park: the fenced-in exercise area at 38th Avenue and Fulton, the dog run at Fulton and Stanyan, a wooded section on Seventh Avenue, and a knoll in the Outer Sunset near MLK.
- The Extras:
- Legend has it that a ghost police roams the park, pulling folks over and giving tickets that, once filed, reveal the officer has been dead for 10 years (and your ticket is void).
- When to Go:
- On the first and third Wednedays of the month, take a walking tour through Golden Gate Park. 10am-11am. Call (415) 263-0991 for information on where to meet.

Very cool museums, good for relaxing afternoon, clean
by solarstorm at Citysearch
A must for any SF visit-in Citypass there is admission for Legion of Honor and de Young museum. Didn't get to visit Legion, but did visit some parts of de Young. Nice touch if you like art. Visit the Japanese Tea Garden for some beautiful pictures and relaxation. Citypass also has 7 day unlimited municipal transportion (Cablecars, Light-Rail and Buses-great value, and boy did we use it!).
- Pros: Free, relaxing

A forest with the city...
by shawnhall at Citysearch
When you can't afford the time to visit California's state parks, just stop by Golden Gate park! Find a patch of grass off a beaten trail and sit among the trees. Soon you'll forget you're right in the middle of a bustling city!
- Pros: Free
- Cons: Avoid at Nighttime
