The views are breathtaking. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin County, Salesforce Tower (basically you see this wherever you are in San Francisco), the coast & much more. I love all the sand at the top of the park. There gorgeous succulents lots of chert rock and stairs on the other side that you can choose to descend. This is another spectacular free destination to enjoy in San Francisco.

My review is for the bicycle lane around Lake Merced…read more The parked RVs on Lake Merced Boulevard makes this dangerous with cars disobeying the speed limit all the time. The RVs were supposed to be leaving November 1st, 2025. But, that was just another fairy tale by the politicians. DPW has a special sweeper to clean between the new concrete barrier islands separating the the sidewalk path and the street. But the sweeper machine just makes a bigger mess than before- moving the dirt and rocks to the middle and dropping more dirt along the way. Many calls to 311 were fruitless in getting this fixed. The City is coming up short on this.

He's always enthusiastic, happy to go wherever, and doesn't complain when I pack the same snacks. Also, he's fairly quiet, so perfect company.

I have waited almost three years to write this review of where my husband and I tied the knot, and…read moreI'm glad I've saved it for my 100th review! Eagle's Point has long been a gorgeous hiking trail destination for the two of us at Lands End, where a spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge can be seen resting above the beautiful San Francisco Bay. Even when the fog rolls in, as it did on our wedding day, it creates such a mysterious and romantic veil over the trail. We had a small party of twenty people who stood waiting to watch us say our vows at Eagle's Point lookout, which is nicely enclosed by reddish wooden railings. Our friends and family scattered red, white, and violet rose petals on the dirt where we were to stand and become husband and wife. Getting married at sunset in October, there weren't many people around, so it was a lovely semi-private event. As I walked down one of my husband and my favorite hiking trails, in my Betsy Johnson sparkly high heels, I thought how lucky I was to be marrying the love of my life, in the city that I adore. Surrounded by fog, the Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge, we said, "I do."

It is pretty low, yet still elevated. Very intimate as you see The Bay spread out before you. I love the view of the GGB. I love the Sunset, as you walk down to The Cannery. I like this part of town, and, people should know about this view. The reservoir is farther up the hill. There is also an open space down below. Very close to Ghirardelli Square and the Aquatic Park. It provides some good neighborhood space. Part of being in The City is understanding how many really special things you can come across living in San Francisco. This is one of those special places. Seeing the views of The Bay is a real experience. I wish I could really put it into words. See it. Write a review.

It really doesn't look like much from the street. So I think how it is super underrated is a plus. Very clean and the grass condition is good. The surrounding area is a great place for a tourist - near the ocean and Columbus Ave. Don't make this a destination - but if your in the neighborhood - no harm in spending a few minutes here climbing some stairs.

Mount Sutro Hike - A Hidden Forest in the City…read more If you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled escape in San Francisco, Mount Sutro is a fantastic choice. This lush, forested hike offers beautiful views, misty trails, and tons of mushrooms for those who love foraging or just admiring nature. Pro Tip: Get dropped off at the parking lot near the top rather than at the base--this way, you start in the woods and avoid hiking up along the road, which isn't as scenic. What to Expect: * Gorgeous groves and moss-covered trees * Plenty of mushrooms and plant life after rainy weather * Sweeping views of the city from certain points * A serene, quiet hike with fewer crowds than Twin Peaks The trails are well-maintained but can be muddy, so wear good hiking shoes! This is one of SF's best hidden gems for nature lovers who want a woodsy, foggy escape without leaving the city. Must-do: Take the trails through the trees at the top Perfect for: Nature lovers, mushroom hunters, and anyone wanting a peaceful city escape Highly recommend this hike--it feels like stepping into a fairy tale forest right in the middle of SF!

There's wildlife, a bathroom, trash cans, 360 degree views of the peninsula canyons & limited parking. So you can be sure it will never be over crowded. Just make sure to be courteous to your fellow parkers so that no one walks away with dings or dents on their vehicles. There's always an option to park across Sharp Park road in the neighborhood, or hike up from Talbot avenue/ Connemara if you're feeling like extra elevation gain. I highly recommend this park, and I also highly recommend that folks keep their dogs on leash here. There is wildlife that could attack your pet, also there's bicycles that ride through here. So unless your animal has grade A recall, keep them leashed. I'm looking at you, small dog owners! Hope you enjoyed reading and enjoy your hike/bike!

Today was clear and sunny on the trail at Sunset dunes. There are basically three options for…read moretrails here: the beach, the big shared lanes on the old great highway, and the pedestrian path. Today I opted for the pedestrian path which still has clear views of the ocean and is less populated than the shared lanes. This park has art displays, like a GIANT spinning rock that you can climb and push to make it turn, and a very sweet telephone booth that invites you to phone loved ones who have passed using stones to make the call. My favorite area and the one I enjoyed most today is the out door exercise space which features parallel bars, pull bars and push up bars. The restrooms are located at Sloat, Taraval, and Judah and the wide pen ocean view are absolutely breath taking. On the shared paths there are signs that direct bikes to use only the far side from the beach, which for the most part I have seen people abide by those rules. It's a great spot to roller skate as well! As the highway pavement is pretty smooth. I visit this park weekly and today it was the absolute perfect weather for pictures.

Came by with my pup and met a friend here months ago to check out this "park ". We talked and…read morewalked, lost in our thoughts, and enjoyed each other's company. To say Sunset Dunes is a "park" is a bit of a misnomer. It's more of a path that parallels ocean beach. It used to be a highway that during the pandemic turned into a walk/bike path on the weekends only. There's also a beach path that's walkable already so I felt like part of this is redundant. But now that change became permanent and it made a lot of people angry, so much so, that the previous city supervisor (Joel Engardio) in this district got recalled. We didn't have so much excitement since the recall of the (controversial) DA a few years ago. That shall be a different topic... Sunset Dunes continues to be controversial topic amongst neighbors. Some love it, some hate it, some are neutral. I like that people make the best of it right now and enjoy it and there are some cool art here. As for the future, let's see how this goes in a few years. I will give it 3 stars for now.
