    This sculpture is really cool! I've known about it for a while but finally took the time and effort…read moreto go check it out. It's a little off the beaten path haha, like after walking through marina greens, you kinda go on a narrower pathway, past a yacht club, and at the edge you'll find this quirky, fun thing! It was really cool to listen to the waves through this "wave organ." I thought it was newer but had no idea it was built in 1986! The Wave Organ uses 25 PVC pipes (and stone reclaimed from an old cemetery!) to channel the Bay's waves into eerie, soothing rumbles, gurgles, sloshes and hisses. Definitely put your ears up to the pipes to hear the magic. Pro tip, wish I knew beforehand: go during high tide (that's when the "music" is apparently the best!). 10/10 recommend for a lazy walk and chill moment with the sound of the Bay!

    Fun place to take a short walk. No parking super close - so not good for people in wheelchairs or…read morewalkers. Great for kids and beautiful views. Off the beaten path you will find this fun spot. Walk past all the yacht clubs and keep going and going. All the way at the end there is a beautiful interactive art installation perfect for kids or adults that never grew up. Tile work and pipes that go into the ocean and make ocean sounds. Press your ear up against the pipes and take a listen. A couple people were fishing nearby but the whole place you can likely have all to yourself. Not all that many people will go take a few extra steps. Perhaps bring a picnic? Benches built into the walls... Maybe not growing up is ok. Taking life too seriously is perhaps overrated.

    I love this spot, it's the kind of community-driven joy that makes SF special. If you're going to…read morerun through Crissy Field to Fort Point, you've got to high five (or ten) the hands. There are paw prints for dogs too! Y'all about a little extra motivation boost halfway through a run. Lore is that these are maintained by the GGB Ironworkers.

    Curiosity got the best of me…read more While going on my urban hikes in and around the Presidio, I've ended up here several times to enjoy the view and watch the surfers while eating my lunch. I noticed several joggers tapping their hands against the fence as soon as they reach the end then jog back out. I took a closer look and saw a metal sign with "Hoppers Hands" on the fence. There's an outline of a pair of hands painted in yellow against a black backdrop so it stands out. The color scheme is similar to the Pittsburg Steelers. There was even one on the bottom of the fence for dogs complete with doggie paws. It's painted in International Orange and the edges had worn off revealing the silver-colored metal sign. So I had to do some research on this phenomenon. Kevin Hopper works as an ironworker for the Golden Gate Bridge. He had access to off-limit areas when they placed the fence on this side of Fort Point to prevent and protect visitors from accidentally falling into the bay or being swept off by sneaker waves. When the fence was installed around the year 2000. he noticed that joggers would clap the newly-installed fence before turning around. He then had a bright idea of installing a sign to make it more welcoming and the initial sign was a simple black-colored hands on a white background. The sign was initially installed as a gag, but due to its popularity, it began to wear off from numerous and constant tapping from joggers and visitors alike. The signs eventually evolved into different iterations and even made one in the color of the 49ers. (Should've kept that color scheme) Hopper noticed that several of the joggers had their four-legged companions with them and they would also tap the sign. A lightbulb went up and he installed a doggie version just a few inches above the ground for the K9 joggers so they wouldn't feel excluded. The signs have become a unique and beloved part of San Francisco and particularly Fort Point, and something that I just discovered recently. #YelpChallenge2020 review No. 59

    One of my absolute favorite field trip spots for my students is the Wood Line in the Presidio of…read moreSan Francisco. This is a super popular place for professional photos. A quick tip: because of the way the Wood Line is designed, this stretch can turn into a full-on wind tunnel. Definitely layer up; it can get chilly even on a sunny day. What makes this area so special for young students is the natural layout. The rows of eucalyptus trees create built-in boundaries, which makes it much easier to manage a group while still giving them a sense of freedom and exploration. There are also spots nearby where kids can build and expand on makeshift shelters using fallen branches, perfect for imaginative play, teamwork, and a little hands-on engineering. There are often dogs off leash in this part of the Presidio, but we've never had any issues along this particular stretch. One especially memorable visit included spotting an owl nesting in the trees. A park ranger was stationed nearby to ensure the owl's safety, and my students even got to ask questions and learn more about the habitat. It turned into an unexpected and magical lesson in urban wildlife. If you're looking for a unique, outdoor San Francisco, add the Wood Line to your list.

Not sure why Google has a closing time for this since there's not a way to actually close it.
