Golden Gate and Dolores might get top billing, but San Francisco is literally blooming with public parks—did you know there is one city park per every half-mile here?
Grab your picnic blankets and a good read—here's our complete guide to SF parks, neatly organized for you by neighborhood.
The Marina + Fisherman's Wharf
Marina Green Triangle Park
With grand views of Alcatraz, the 75-acre park is a city icon. See kites aloft on the winds as runners traverse the great urban trails. // 200 Marina Blvd (Marina), sfrecpark.org
Moscone Rec Center
With two tennis courts, an indoor gym, two play areas, and basketball courts, there's little this center doesn't have. Rumor has it that Joe DiMaggio took Marilyn Monroe around what's now the Moscone Rec Center for a stroll mere hours before they tied the knot at City Hall. // 1800 Chestnut St. (Marina), sfrecpark.org
Joseph Conrad Mini Park
This impeccable green space is located just off Pier 39, with killer views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. // 601 Beach St. (Fisherman's Wharf), sfrecpark.org
