    Near the amphitheater at one end of the

    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.

    3) Transit Center area -- you're in the right place, now look for signs that say "Elevators to Park."

    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.

    Immaculate green space, quite unused as most people are just circling the park on the flat walking path that encircles it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Tara L.

    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 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.

    Kevin J.

    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.

Presidio Tunnel Tops is definitely the new parkland that The City deserves! This is a vast haven with lush greeneries and play areas for kids, adults and paw companions. Reservations are encouraged for larger groups with assigned picnic tables and lawn areas, otherwise, it's a first come first served basis with people setting up blankets in the well manicured grass turf. With magnificent views of the Golden Gate, Alcatraz Island, Crissy Field, Palace of Fine Arts and SF's iconic skyline, while standing on one spot. What more could you ask for? Sans marine layer of course. This park is also near the Walt Disney Family Museum for fans of the house of mouse. Helpful reminders for first time visitors. Either get early for parking or forget the adjacent lots like the French Court area and just go to the Anza Avenue, Outpost Meadow or the Crissy Field East Beach parking areas. Parking is free after 6 PM to 8 AM, so that is a plus for sunset vigils. Don't forget to pay at any of the kiosks! Plate number is mandatory. No printed receipt needed. It gets chilly and windy here so bring layers even in the summer. If you can, bring your own snacks and drinks as food truck and Il Parco offerings can get tourist trap pricey. All-Gender restrooms with communal sinks are located by the Presidio Field Station and the cafe.

    We were in the area for a festival and read that this park was great for dogs and had a dog park…read morearea. We walked up the HUGE San Francisco hill to the park, and then the whole park is a hill. The park is beautiful, there are sidewalks throughout, a nice playground for kids, a dog park area with a fence around it, and a summit area. Near the summit there was a coffee truck, Native Twins Coffee, that was perfect to grab a coffee or matcha. The dog park was a good size, it's long and fenced in, but on the hill so if you're planning on playing fetch/catch with your dog it'll either be throwing up hill or chasing it downhill. There were some trees, so there was some shade in the area too, plus a water fountain in case your dog gets thirsty. I will say, there were dogs all over the park off leash, not just in the turfed dog area. The dogs that were off leash were well behaved, but we kept an eye on our dog (on leash) and the others around us just to be safe. The summit is really pretty with some areas to sit down and plenty of shade. The view was great, and there were groups of people there for a birthday party. The playground area also had some seating nearby and another party was happening in that area. Despite the giant hill, this was a very cute park. I'd definitely stop by again.

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!
