This is a lovely raised garden similar to the NYC high-line ( except no train tracks) It's an oasis. The bathrooms were clean on Sunday They have loads of free events. I attended a drumming circle that meets the 4 th Sunday of every month. Totally free. There are music events and much more There is a very short gondola ride from the street to the garden. Free. Not essential but fun. You can also use stairs, escalator or elevator There is a fountain that triggers when any city bus goes by. That was fun This is certainly a good spot for anyone visiting the city nearby lunch spots include sweet greens ( good salads) and many others There is also a cafe in the garden and restaurants on the first floor of the building
This rooftop park is so cool. It feels like it's street level (until you look over the edge) without the cars! Lots of restrooms, drinking fountains, elevators, escalators, and the gondola. There's a cafe, a courtyard, and events like live music.
One of the largest parks in San Francisco, yet somehow hidden in plain sight. The gondola got me--free, peaceful, and suddenly you're floating above downtown in a park in the sky... except the day I went, it was closed for maintenance. The grassy area is the move here--bring a blanket and settle in. The park is clean, open, and surprisingly peaceful--and it doesn't take much effort to enjoy it. Good for: all ages ___ What matters: * Playground: small climbing structure (limited, but something for kids) * Baby-friendly: open space, easy to set up * Terrain: flat, stroller-friendly walking paths * Bathrooms: near entrance (changing table; somewhat open) * Parking: not attached -- plan to walk; nearby garages can be unpredictable * Shade / seating: mix of sun and shade with a large grassy area * Dog-friendly: we didn't notice dogs when we visited * Food / supplies: limited on-site -- bringing your own is easiest * Activities: more for relaxing than playing (not a sports park--might feel a little boring for teens) * Access: elevators clearly marked; security helps guide you * Atmosphere: clean, calm, and well maintained _____ We had less than two hours and had never been before, so there was a bit of a learning curve getting there. Parking took a minute (two garages were closed), and the gondola was also down for maintenance--but once you find the elevators, everything is straightforward. The grassy area is really the move here. If you bring a blanket, you don't have to worry about seating at all. We ended up picnicking, and at one point I looked around and saw people lounging, talking, enjoying the weather, while others walked through--it had a really calm, shared energy. Food nearby was limited when we went, so I was glad we brought our own. They also host events, so it's worth checking what's scheduled--we missed an Easter egg hunt the day we went. There's also a "bus fountain" built into the walkway that activates when a bus passes underneath--a small detail you might miss if you don't know it's there. We didn't have enough time to see everything, so this felt more like a first visit--but it's definitely somewhere I'd come back to. ___ Real-life insight: You don't need much here -- a blanket and a few snacks go a long way.
I've driven by Salesforce park on many occasions and would always remind myself that one day I'd visit and the opportunity finally came. We found street parking a few blocks away before entering the park via the elevators. The space alone was nice with a few areas to spend time with kids or do an outdoor class surrounded by nature. Our expectations were high after seeing so many nice photos but ultimately, it felt like it was mainly a four-block loop that wasn't as grand as it appeared. The fountains on the edge took up a good amount of walking space and even though it didn't seem particularly crowded, it felt strangely cramped. The gondola ride down was relaxing and we even got a sticker.
A quick escape from the bustling downtown and hectic business vibe of the financial district to relax I this really calming open air park. It's 4 blocks of walkable greenery and unique plants:trees, foliage and more to appreciate. The design is very modern. They host free events weekly. Go check out their programs, from free performances to joga class.
The first I heard of the new transit terminal was when all of my usual parking spaces were suddenly cordoned off, no longer available for use. A long while went by before, on a walking tour nearby, my guide pointed to the area where the transit terminal was rising to say that a blocks-long elevated park was also being erected atop it, something he might've compared to NYC's High Line. So it sounded interesting but I have to admit: this is one of my least favorite areas of the city. It is, for me, too associated with my working life. I finally made time for San Francisco's version of the High Line, a clean (even the restrooms), elevated park ringed by a botanic garden. I applaud the views of surrounding buildings, the ample places to sit, the simple walking path that loops around it, and the multiple activities I saw that they host (most free of charge). I understand that this is a nice park dropped into a very busy space and appreciate the effort that went into its creation. Whoever designed and paid for it (Salesforce, I assume) did a nice job. But I have to be honest: this is a park for those who work right here. As I traversed the pathway that rings the park I felt like an old-timer who returned to see how the new generation works. The pathway appeared to be 98% occupied by people taking a meeting or coffee break with a co-worker. So, it's no Golden Gate Park but that's okay. I have other downtown green spaces I like more than this one, smaller ones that I'd return to again before ever choosing Salesforce Park, but it is certainly an interesting place to experience and walk through, even if you no longer work nearby. Other stuff: * There's a gondola here that was non-operational on the day I visited, despite signs of operation that indicated it should've been running. * There's a fountain that erupts based on transit activity taking place several levels below. * There's several spots to get coffee. * Dogs are not allowed (unless they're service dogs).
This was our first visit. We went this past Sunday. We followed google maps, but they took us to a dead end. We parked around the corner on the street. Thankfully there was plenty of parking as it was a Sunday and to top it off parking was free. It's quite dead on a Sunday, barley any people were around and only one other car was parked on our street. We walked back to the dead end street and made our way to Salesforce Tower. We found the entrance and walked in. We found one of the security guards and asked how to get to the park. He directed us to the elevators and said to go to the 4th floor. There was also the option of the escalators. We joined a group also going up in the elevator. The elevator comfortably fits 6. Upon reaching the 4th floor you have two options to go, right or left. We went left. As it turns out we were at one end of the park. It's a horseshoe so we ended up walking the loop. The park is something else. It's spectacular. It's hard to believe it's 4 stories up and it's got full grown trees all the way up there. The grasses were lush and green. The plants were all growing so well. There were benches to sit and lots of tables and chairs. People were camped out on the lawn in groups. Some people were even having a picnic. There aren't any cafes up there or none were open when we went. A cafe up there would be nice. If I worked there this would be the perfect place to have lunch or take a break. It's a beautiful park. They also have a gondola. We didn't take it as the line was too long, but it's something I'd like to try in the future if we ever come back. I wonder if there is a lot or other option of where to park or if everyone just takes public transit to get there. I'd like to comeback and ride the gondola, but I don't know where I'd park.
We finally made it to Salesforce and found it even better than we imagined. This 5 acre park is vibrant and full of well designed greenery. One can enjoy a lovely walk covering the perimeter and various garden themes. My sister and I enjoyed a glass of bubbles and listen to a live jazz band that was playing that afternoon. What a treat! Later, when it started drizzling, we tucked into their café and enjoyed well crafted coffee beverages. We were pleasantly surprised with the array of activities that occur daily at this park. The themed dance nights sound so much fun.
What a beautiful space at the top of the transit center! It's so green and serene. There are many spaces to sit, enjoy the view, and unwind.
Salesforce Park is such a cool oasis in the middle of downtown SF. You can take the gondola up just for fun (and yes, it's free!) or use the elevators/escalators from the street level. Once you're up there, you're in this lush public park that feels worlds away from the busy streets below. The walking path is about 0.6 miles for a full lap, so it's a nice little stroll or a quick jog if you're trying to get some steps in. There are plenty of benches, gardens, and even little events happening sometimes. Whether you're visiting the city, working in the Financial District, or just love being around nature in an urban setting, this place is worth a stop. It's not the High Line in New York, but it's uniquely San Francisco.
Finally had a chance to check out the park above the Salesforce tour. We came around 9ish on a Saturday morning and there wasn't very many people there. We did see a few homeless people sleeping or walking around the park so make sure to be aware of your surroundings as with any other place in the city.
salesforce park is elevated above the streets between 2nd st and beale st...park runs parallel to minna st and natoma st...there are multiple elevators between minna and notoma, or a gondola located on the corner of fremont st and mission st...going up the gondola is not a problem and can take a large group, but going down is limited to 4 passengers...the park has a nice long walking trail circling the entire length of the park...plenty of seating and a web play structure for children...andytown coffee is located at park level along with a beer garden located closer to the fremont st side...yerba buena has a better playground for children, but salesforce park is just cooler...
Salesforce Park is hands down one of the coolest spots in the city. A rooftop park in the middle of downtown? Yes, please. It's green, spacious, and feels like you've stumbled into a little urban oasis floating above the chaos. The best part? You can actually grab a beer here. Nothing beats sipping a cold one while hanging out among the gardens, soaking up sunshine, and looking out over the skyline. It feels like a secret rooftop beer garden that somehow everyone should know about. Pro tip: take the glass elevator up. The ride itself is fun, and the operator is super knowledgeable about the park--sharing little details and fun facts that make the experience even better. It's like a mini guided tour before you even step out. There are also game tables scattered throughout the park, which makes it an even better hangout spot with friends. One thing to watch out for: it does get windy in the afternoon as the fog rolls in, so bring a jacket if you plan to hang out later in the day. Between the walking paths, the events that pop up, and the chill atmosphere, Salesforce Park has quickly become one of my favorite "escape the city without leaving the city" spots. Great views, good beer, games, and a vibe that's pure San Francisco.
Wow, who would have thought there's a clean, safe, relaxing park in the middle of downtown San Francisco. Salesforce Park is an open-air park that's built on the fourth level of the Salesforce Transit Center. You can access it from the ground floor by escalator, elevator, and even gondola during weekdays. The park is not that large, and is really built for relaxation from busy city life. It also has some nice kid-friendly features and things for adults to enjoy too: 1. Security personnel everywhere - throughout the park and on the ground floors. 2. Large bathroom facilities 3. Small climbing structure for kids, outdoor foosball, mini library, and a cartful of board games. 4. A small food stand serving adult beverages and pizzas. More food options on weekdays around the ground level so folks can bring lunch here. 5. Plenty of places to sit. You can also stroll among the gardens from plants around the world and get a great view of the city's skyline. 6. Look for special monthly events like dance shows, musicians, and possibly fitness classes. read more
This is such a cool city park! I took the gondola up to the park and elevator down. This is a unique place to visit in a bustling city's it's nice to see so much greenery in space that is surrounded by city buildings. If you have time grab a beer in the park and just wander around! read more

Salesforce Park is a GEM! While visiting San Francisco, a few coworkers and I grabbed lunch and took it to Salesforce Park to enjoy the outdoors and get a nice walk in. The weather was chillier than expected, but that didn't change the views. With an overcast day and roughly 50 degrees, we still were able to sit at one of the many tables in the middle of the park and enjoy our sandwiches. You truly don't feel like you're in the middle of a big city, although you are surrounded by the tall buildings. The park is surrounded by nature. There was a small brewery, a coffee shop, playgrounds, an amphitheatre, space for an outdoor workout class (there was zumba going on while we were up there), and so much more! I can't wait to come back to this park next time I'm in town, and hopefully the gondola is up and running then, too! read more

Beauty and scale of this park took me by surprise. I took the elevator up to the fourth floor, and was in awe of this oasis looking onto the numerous skyscrapers surrounding it. There was a large green field on one end, where they offer fitness and dance classes from time to time. In the middle section, they park offered books and games for kids, along with pizza, coffee and wine for sale. As you walk along the trail, you can read about all the different species from the bamboo, redwood trees/forests, etc. This park was very well designed by their landscape architects, and you can definitely appreciate it each step of the way. read more
I was really surprised by how big the park was. They did an amazing job incorporating many species of plants. There are many informational signs, great for learning more about the park and things at the park like the earth quake safety measures and the palm tree varieties. There was no shortage of solo and group seating. There was grass areas, bench areas, table areas, stage / performance space. There's were so many private areas available despite it being a public park. Definitely consider coming here and finding a bench if you want to get away from the concrete jungle. Bathrooms are also very clean. Plenty of elevators for easy access from the street. I'll definitely add grabbing a coffee with a friend and walking the park for a few hours to my things to do in San Francisco list. read more

I have been to San Francisco, several times, maybe around 15 times. I have always known it as a city for skip and play, and thus I only assess its activity centers, never its gas stations, urger care centers and other service providers. And Salesforce Park, is a leisurely green spot that literally elevates a stroll to an architectural tour of SF's Downtown. In short, it is an activity center that is grandiose, and quite literally a treat from the good people at Salesforce to SF and its people, and its visitors. I arrived to SF from Oakland, via Ferry. This place is walking distance from the Ferry building. Maybe like less than a 15 minute walk, and my steps are short and slow, so I am likely over estimating the distance in minutes. Once you get there, I recommend looking for the free glass Gondola. It is operated by a Gondolier. The wait was not long, and the ride was not long either. I went during the holiday season, and as I rode up I was able to see the word Joy as a three letter art installation. However, from my point of ride, I saw the words backwards, not yoj, but rather joy, written to be read from right to left. The small moment made me focus on the word joy, and by focusing on the word, I felt lighter, like I understood that flaws can be beautiful even though they make something imperfect, which reminded me that my joy can still be true, powerful, and affirming, even if it is seen as flawed. I guess what matters is that it can stand. As soon, as I got up to the park I knew that I was in for a treat, the moment had a stillness that was thick and stimulating. Before seeing the different green in the area, I saw the different folks walking the paths. And I immediately focused on the person (who read female) who was wearing a witches costume. But her witches costume was not traditionally black. Instead she was wearing a purple dress, whose pointed hat matched the red and orange flower pattern of the dress, not perfectly, but I knew she tried to coordinate the colors and patterns of the dress to those of the hat. I clipped a picture of the character, who in my mind, was dressed as a mage of a world that mirrored Candy Land topography and had the responsibility to keep play imaginative and frivolous in a productive way. I am not sure if she was a costume performer or a citizen who embraced the folly of absurdity on Sundays. Regardless, she was one of the many people with stories and personalities that gave this park population. As I walked through the park, I first noticed the different small gardens all around the park. For instance, there was a patch filled with bamboo. I went behind the bamboo, hoping to be lost in a Chinese forest, for a least a second, but, the patch was small. But still, I wondered amidst bamboo, when I did not expect to see this type of green at Salesforce Park. I also saw signs that talked about how a patch was green from Australia, and other signs discussed other green from the world. I did clip a sign that explained that some green was from a "Cloud Forest". Before reading the description, I allowed myself to imagine that the branches and leafs of this patch of green were somehow nurtured or attached to clouds. But instead, the sign described that a cloud forest is one "that occurs on high mountains" and it is named cloud forest because it is "often shrouded in mist and fog." Meaning, that the vegetation that was before had known the heights of mountains that might hold ancient temples. The green patches from around the globe were exceptional because they made a stroll around the loop a brief cruise around the planet. The second exceptional quality of this park is that it allowed one to enjoy the buildings of San Francisco up close, which allowed me to understand them from a different point of view. It was great to be in a place that offered a fresh take on a park, while it also offered a fresh take on a city. For instance, walking around the park I was able to take a picture of a bridge, and it was not the Golden Gate, it was not colored international orange. It felt like I was able to touch the thick suspension cables, which made me feel like a giant of the land. I never felt like I could grab a bridge with my hands. Another great sight, came when I saw the twinkle of a building- it was the sunlight hitting one of its windows. However, the shine made a star of light. It was the only visible and large refracted light moment amongst the buildings. It felt like catching the twinkle of a star, as paparazzi bombarded her, and she remained strong in glamour, with the proof being the twinkle in her eye. Honestly, looking at all the buildings was probably the best part of my first experience at this park, that might be the only one I have in years, or in my life. I know that a person goes to a park for different reasons, and I think that this park has everything for any park goer- and on some nights Zumba! read more
If you have not checked out the many events at Salesforce park, you're missing out. Checked on the site and wow they have a Christmas wreath making session. What better way to welcome Christmas by making a fragrant wreath that smells like Christmas. There's a few sessions where you sign up on Eventbrite. Walk ins if there's space. Materials are provided and it's fun for all the families and friends. Other events available on the site. Enjoy!!! read more

I love this park. I love that this park is atop the Salesforce Building, so cool. It's very clean, a relaxed stroll around (literally). Lots of trees, bamboo area and fountains around. They have plenty of seating area in the food court area. This place kinda reminds me of a smaller version of The High Line in Manhattan. I enjoyed my time here, walking around and seeing all the greenery around. There was hardly anybody there the day after Thanksgiving which made it more relaxing. read more
Right in the heart of the Financial District amongst Salesforce high rises is a gondola that takes you up to Salesforce Park, an elevated oasis with a walkabout surrounded by native plants. What's more is that they actually hold classes here for the public, which is really cool even though I haven't seen one in action. If you need a respite amongst the city's concrete jungle, know there's this park nearby. read more
This urban rooftop park located at the Salesforce Transit Center is truly worth a visit. We have been here a few times because we love getting coffee at Andytown Coffee Roasters, which is on the same level as the park. This 5.4-acre public park has a terrific walking trail with 600 trees and 16,000 plants within 13 unique ecosystems along the way. You can be strolling past the bamboo grove one minute and then come upon the desert garden. There are benches along the trail so that you can bask in the sun or take a break in the shade. There are fountains and a children's play area, but only service dogs are allowed. We love it up there, a true urban oasis in the heart of the city. read more
The park is very serene and beautiful. Couldn't beleive this is in the middle of San Fransisco. Seems this place is not getting enough attention. The place was not crowded with tourists. There was a gondola to go up. But it was an inefficient form of transportation. Only 4 people at a time. And just 4 floors takes about 15 minute 1 way. If there is a line of 12 in front of you that will translate to 1 hour of wait. read more
Nice little park in the middle of downtown SF. Nothing particularly amazing, but 4 stars as it is a nice place to relax for free while in this concrete jungle. They have a small area for kids, lots of different trees, and a nice walking loop. Tip: take the gondola and you can learn about its history. Cost 2.5 billion to make! read more
Probably the closest thing to the High Line or Google Park here in SF but in the middle of FIDI. This park, by contrast was much more peaceful, with no throngs of tourists. If I had to guess, 99% of people there were taking afternoon walks with their coworkers. People watching here is dry so bringing a book, your lunch or a laptop is probably your best choice for midday entertainment. There was a calendar of events also, so I'm sure it gets more lively in the evenings. Also appreciated the informative signage about the various plants found in the park. read more
Wow what a beautiful park with beautiful views of the city and salesforce tower. It was a little confusing initially what floor the park was on. There is a walking trail that circles the park with all different plants and trees, and some signs with fun facts about SF. Didn't stop in, but the beer garden looked really popular. read more
Hubby and I wanted to check this place out when I found it on a TikTok. I had no idea about this place and while it was easy to find parking is a struggle in this area. Thankfully we found a place not too far of a walk from the Salesforce Park. Getting on and off gondola was a quick process. Wow the park itself is huge and just so nice and peaceful. There are so many areas to hang out and things to do while up here. It is so easy to forget you are on top of building in the middle of a busy city. I enjoyed my time here and would come back again. Sorry forgot to take pictures while at park as it was just so easy to just relax and take in the sights and sounds. read more
This park is a marvel in architecture, and truly one of its kind. You can take an elevator or gondola to the top of this rooftop park. Once up there, you almost forget you're above ground. There are park benches, grassy areas, kid structures, a coffee shop, amphitheater, and a botanical garden. There's a paved walkway that loops around the entire park (.6 mile). Everything is well maintained, clean, and not very crowded. The garden, which surrounds the entire park, consists of plants from all around the world. There are tropical plants, a bamboo forest, ferns, and many plants I don't recognize. There's also a fountain that goes off whenever a bus underneath goes by. Ingenious. As for safety, there are several security guards throughout the park, so I felt very safe. Definitely someplace to put on your list when visiting SF. read more
