    This is a beautiful park up on the hill in SF. Surrounded by beautiful architecture and walkable to plenty of nice areas. Its not huge but its enough of a place to relax and I believe there are restrooms as well. The only rough part is the walk up the hill if you're out of shape like me. Otherwise, certainly worth checking out.

    Intimate little park near the fancy historic hotels. Was a result of the 1906 earthquake and a generous donor. Intimate park surrounded by fences. There are some hedges around the perimeter and its a pleasant place to be. Some lawn and a large fountain. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays too which is a plus if you need help getting in the mood. Lots of benches and some play structures. Near the fancy historic hotels. If your here you might be staying at the Fairmont or maybe Hopkins. If you are be sure and walk one block to here so you can see some green grass. Grace cathedral is also across the street - so might be a place before or after if your the church going type. I remember there was a light show here by Illuminate SF - The lights were coming from The Fairmont and and aimed for the stained glass window the church. All the laser lights were overhead directly above this park. It is a sight to see - and these shows and drone light shows seem to be more common in recent times. The 1906 earthquake leveled the mansion that used to be here and the owner 'Huntington' donated the land to the city to be utilized as a park. This part of town seems to have avoided a lot of the crazy and kriminals that are elsewhere.... so enjoy a small walk in the park.

    The park is located on Nob Hill and surrounded by the Grace Cathedral and the Fairmont Hotel. It is a quiet place that features a playground for kids, and it's a nice area for dogs too despite the field isn't very big.

    A park in the middle of Nob Hill? An area known for its luxury hotels and historic mansions that were built by the Big Four railroad tycoon, Stanford, Hopkins, Crocker and Huntington. From the plaque in the park, this was the location of the Huntington Mansion until its destruction in the great 1906 earthquake and fire. The land was donated to the San Francisco to remain in perpetuity as a park for people to enjoy. The park is half a square block bounded with California, Taylor, Sacramento and Cushman Sts. At the center of the park is a grand "Fountain of the Tortoises". With some open grass areas, the park is popular with people walking their dogs, people enjoying the park with its many benches, and parents and their kids playing in the playground on the Sacramento St side of the pork. From the park, you get great view of Nob Hill iconic structures, Grace Cathedral, Mark Hopkins Hotel, Huntington Hotel, and Masonic Auditorium. If you're in the area, check out this nice, mellow and clean park. A park befitting to be in Nob Hill.

    Cute small neighborhood park across from Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill. Big fountain, grass area, benches, shade, and 2 play structures with slides, climbing ropes, hanging bars, 2 toddler bucket swings, and more! Downside is that there were a lot of unleashed dogs there. I didn't feel safe as they were pretty rambunctious with each other. One of the dogs even charged at my toddler 2 year old and the owner of the dog did nothing to stop her dog.

    Glowing lights and I hear the rippling water effects. It's quite pleasant to simply just be here - especially at night. Looking at the fountain, sitting on the wooden benches and the lit cathedral, is serene. Playground is available during the day. The park is on top of Sam Francisco's remarkable steep hills and isolated in between high rise buildings that is mixed with commercial and residential. Lovely sight to be in!

    Almost as old as me;P

    Great little "dog park" high up on the hill. The Huntington Park is open for all to enjoy. It's a true treasure, but note it's one of the smallest parks in the city! Yet, I adore this park because of how well maintained it is and how it's tucked between The Fairmont and Grace Cathedral. Huntington Park is a "family friendly" park and of course "dog friendly" too. There's a small children's playground at one corner and a couple of early art deco fountains to enjoy. The park was formerly the site of the mansion of railroad baron C.P. Huntington (yup him again, he also has a waterfall in Golden Gate Park lol); his mansion was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake, however, and his widow donated the property to the city to establish a park in 1915, hence the park's name. This is secretly one of my regular parks that I truly enjoy. Maybe because I used to live just a couple blocks away and enjoyed Grace Cathedral too. I quickly became a regular to just clear my head and watch the dogs and dog owners. Enjoy the little ones playing and actually feeling safe! The park's location being on one of the highest points in the city probably discourages the homeless away. I mean if not riding a cable car who wants to walk up vertical hills just for a park? Sorry just being real. One thing is certain I love how intimate it is, just make sure your pooch is on a leash & you clean up after yourself...

    A picture perfect park in Nob Hill that is kid-, couple-, singleton- and family-friendly. Huntington Park is situated on the most prestigious hill in San Francisco. Since the silver barons built their mansions here and the cable cars were created to ferry goods up & down, Nob Hill has had a refined vibe. Huntington Park replaced a historic mansion which most likely burned down during the 1906 earthquake. The park itself is an oasis of greenery which has children's swings, climbing structure and sand to entertain youngsters. The fountain of the tortoises is a work of art. What a wonderful place to play while growing up! Dog owners cordially greet other dog owners while their pets rub noses and sniff. On a good day, bring a picnic blanket and sit on the grassy squares and peer West to Grace Cathedral; to the East is the Pacific Union club and the Fairmont & Mark Hopkins hotels. At holiday time (which is now), the park is lit by green and red lights draped throughout the trees. Spectacular at night time. An idyllic park. Any day. Any time. I love it.

    Awesome fountain
    Rich S.

    Fully deserving of all the fine reviews! Clean, very well maintained, and some beautiful flora throughout. Neat playground area for the ankle biters, and a nice fountain producing some soothing sounds . . . what a gem! Cheers! RS

    Beautiful little park!

On the way back to the 101 however it's a mess. The road on the way down is crowded with parked cars, which makes driving through challenging.

Ever since then, I've wanted to hike this peak, today I have achieved my wish. Early June with mild coastal temp, 50s-60s. Started up Matt Davis Trail in the foggy forest, to Pantoll Campground, to West Point Inn where we can look down to the top of the fog layer, to the Fire Lookout building at the Peak. Then we came down reverse but split off to Steep Ravine and Dip Sea trail after the campground. I've also always wanted to climb that ladder. This hike provided views of the Pacific ocean on the West as well as views of Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on the East side. I thoroughly enjoyed the cool lush forest, but actually my favorite section was the single track along the slope of the open area after the Mt Tam State Park sign.

Let's also close down the streets from cars one day a week in the Summer so people can ride their bikes, skate, rollerblade, play and dance in the streets! How about on some warm weekend days we put huge concerts there that fill the grass for as far as the eye can see so people can bring all their friends to enjoy food, drinks, and music together. And the lake... let's make it so people can rent boats, and if they don't or can't row, they can peddle so they, too, can enjoy the waterfall and life on the lake! Let's also have beautiful statues around the park, definitely a Shakespeare Garden, and let's throw in something for garden lovers, like a Botanical Garden (a big one) and a Conservatory of Flowers. For more culture, let's add a Japanese Tea Garden with more lakes and flowers, and even a bridge in the shape of a circle. Let's also make this accessible to everyone, so some days, the museums are free (ie, usually once a month). And some entrance fees are lower for locals. (Check the websites.)

The layout is more challenging and perfect for little explorers who love to climb, balance, and stay active. My 3-year-old always finds something new to do, and it keeps them engaged for a long time. I also appreciate that babies aren't left out--there are designated areas where younger kids can safely play too. The restroom is conveniently located and clean, which is a big plus for families. That said, some of the rocky edges can be a bit risky for adventurous kids, so it's definitely a place where you'll want to keep a close eye on them at all times. The only downside is parking--it can be pretty tough to find a spot, especially during busy times. Overall, it's a fun and exciting playground that's great for kids of different ages, as long as you're prepared for a bit of supervision and a parking hunt!
