Editorial Review for Golden Gate Park – by Citysearch Editors
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 bandstand concourse, the Japanese Tea Garden, a polo field, a golf course, massive lawns and athletic fields and a first-rate children's playground.

The ExtrasLegend 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).

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
