Golden Gate Park
SF's most iconic green space, Golden Gate Park (GGP) sits as a shining example of how natural beauty can sit alongside urban development. Stretching more 1,000 acres, it houses many other well-known gardens such as the Conservatory of Flowers, San Francisco Botanical Gardens, Stow Lake and more. Fun fact: GGP is home to two active waterfalls, Rainbow and Huntington Falls. // Lincoln Way and Park Presidio Blvd. (Golden Gate Park), goldengatepark.com
