This…read moremight be nice to park in lieu of the parking lot over there if going to the museum since that lot is known to have lots of car break-ins. This trail is only about .3 miles long so not really a destination to itself but it's best if used as an add on to the Lands End Trail. The trail forks right before going to the Legion of Honor so if you take the left side the trail takes you through to the street going through the SF VA Medical Center. From here it becomes a trail again going through Fort Miley where there are some batteries and an old Octagon House. From there loop around with the regular Lands End Trail. To do this loop is a little under 2 miles. For a list of more SF hikes and walks: https://bit.ly/43PhQtL

If you are trying to cut across the park, this is the most direct route. The trail is not all that long and is most definitely not a destination. But, it's secluded, has good views of the golf course and is a good way to expedite your travels across Lands End. A couple of notes: *The Trailhead on the Clement End starts at 40th Avenue. *There are restrooms located on the north end of the trail. *It's also easy to miss the start from this side. It's just to the right of the tee box behind the museum. *Keep an ear open for "Fore!" as you are right along a golf course.

OK, I knew we had one, but I thought it was at the Red Door Spa near Union Square. But I guess Elizabeth Arden isn't the only one holding the key to your eternal childhood. This spring, according to Ohlone legend, apparently allows women sipping its water to pump out kids over a long life. I don't know what the water does to those of us who don't reproduce, but it is a congregation place for COVID-weary teachers needing to take their charges on a field trip. Why not? After all, there's a stone well from which presumably the water springs and plenty of flora and streams in which the kids can frolic to the delight of their teachers. Of course I did not partake of the frolicking as I didn't want to get 5-10 at Folsom State, but I still enjoyed the bucolic setting from a distance. RELATED - Exploring the Marina?

Bathrooms are located at the base as well as about 5 parking spots. During the weekend unrestricted parking is available on the street however it's permit only during the week. At the beginning of the trail there are a couple of picnic tables and remnants of the base of an Adobe house from colonial days. You can always hear lots of birds chirping and it's populated with wildflowers in the spring. The trail is a loop about a quarter of a mile which is good for people that want to get out for something short. To hike farther, at the loop take a left and there is a trail that goes up by the playground. This trail can circle around with the Lovers Lane trail which is about 1.5 miles. Another option is to take a right before the spring which goes up to the Ecology Trail which you can circle around as well.

Its a fantastic hike that rewards you with amazing east and west views. If you do the full loop, you will experience an 860 elevation change throughout.

The loop takes about 50 minutes for me to complete. There's also an easily accessible bathroom 3/4 of the way through the loop that's maintained by the parks people. There is no water, so bring your own. And no cell phone coverage on the hike. Which is delightful!

Even now, it's one of those small neighborhood spaces that quietly does its job well. In the afternoons, it's especially popular with local dog owners, office workers on breaks, and people simply looking for a place to sit, relax, and enjoy the water. It's not a big park, but it's well used and well loved by the South Beach community. What makes this spot especially interesting is its past. This peaceful patch of green was once part of San Francisco's gritty working waterfront, home to aging maritime structures including Pier 36. For decades, this stretch of the Embarcadero was dominated by heavy industry and shipping activity, until the old piers became too deteriorated to safely use. As part of the broader effort to revitalize the Embarcadero and reconnect the city with the Bay, the condemned pier and bulkhead wharf were demolished and replaced with public open space. The park opened in 2013 and remains a welcome pocket of greenery built right over the water. It features a grassy lawn, picnic areas, a waterfront promenade, and the distinctive tidal columns that show the changing bay water levels--a subtle nod to the area's maritime roots. Today, it's a great place to pause, people-watch, walk your dog, or simply take in the views of the Bay Bridge. It's proof that even small parks can make a big difference in a dense urban neighborhood.

Well, here's one green patch that gratefully escaped Joni's downcast fate. The park consists of five acres of bucolic landscaping, which hugs McCovey Cove right across from Oracle Park. I was already familiar with the walking path since it predates the park and provides an inevitable connection for the San Francisco Bay Trail. You can walk easily to Chase Center and Crane Cove from here. Beyond the trail is the Great Lawn, an acre of greenery that slopes toward the water and creates a natural amphitheater. There are other parts of the park like the Gathering Grove and the Shoreline Sands that function primarily as congregation areas during game days and cultural events. But come any time, especially near sunset, because the key draw from any vantage point is the view of Downtown, the Bay Bridge, and of course, the bay itself. RELATED - Exploring Mission Bay?
