Golden Gate Park

Golden Gate Park spans 53rd Street and is made up of a dozen small parks. It's a great place for San Franciscans to enjoy a weekend stroll. Seeing children happily running around on the grass makes me feel happy living here.

There are many people dancing in a slightly open area on the side of the park road. There is an advertising box next to it, which teaches swing dancing for free. It is simply the square dance of foreigners.

There is actually a large flower garden at the entrance, with all kinds of hybrid flowers, but I don’t recognize them.

Our first stop was Golden Gate Park, a lesser-known attraction. It's a popular weekend getaway for locals. Watching the Americans chatting, playing ball, and picnicking on the lawns, I felt like I'd truly integrated into American life. The warm, lively, and peaceful atmosphere was truly heartwarming. We found a large lawn, set up our tripod, and started taking selfies. Time was almost up, so we reluctantly left Golden Gate Park.

Right under the Golden Gate Bridge, it's huge with lots of beaches and activity areas

I come here every week. If you have lived, worked and studied in downtown for a long time and don’t want to go too far, Golden Gate Park is a good choice;

I like the trees and lawns here, I like the mornings and evenings here, I like the lazy sun here, I like the laughing people here;

Invite a few friends to come here to play football and barbecue on weekends; many Americans are still very enthusiastic and will also participate in our games.

If you come to San Francisco, I recommend it~~

As the largest urban park on the West Coast of the United States, it rivals New York's Central Park. The park is filled with towering trees, various lakes and wetlands, and even bison, creating a truly beautiful environment. Many locals come here for morning exercises, walking their dogs, and strolling their children.

In addition to the natural scenery, Golden Gate Park also features attractions like the California Academy of Sciences, the de Young Museum, and the Japanese Tea Garden. Tickets are required for all of these. If you've been to Japan, there's no need to pay specifically for the Japanese Tea Garden. The de Young Museum is a must-see for those interested in art.

Golden Gate Park is really beautiful, quiet and comfortable during the day. It is said that the security is very poor at night because there are fewer people. When I parked my car, I found that there were indeed broken glass left by the smashed car.

I went there in 2014. The open, linear park is huge, with unique landscapes everywhere, and it has a 7-star rating. I only visited a small section that year, but I made a wish to take my parents there, and it happened in May.

Golden Gate Park is San Francisco's largest park, boasting exceptional greenery and a perfect place for leisure. The path is easy to navigate, with attractions scattered throughout, allowing for easy stop-and-go driving. To the left is a horse ranch and golf course, while the attractions are concentrated on the right. The de Young Museum, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Japanese Tea House are all very close together, though unfortunately they were all closed when I arrived too late. The buildings are all very distinctive, and the large lake in the center is home to a thriving birdlife. The geese waddled along the path with no fear of strangers, prompting passersby to warn us about getting pecked.

This is a huge park that you can spend a lot of time exploring. I especially loved the botanical gardens, the Dutch windmills, and the California Academy of Sciences. You can't even finish exploring it in a day.

The park is very large and the natural scenery inside is infinitely beautiful. It is a few minutes' drive from the Golden Gate Bridge. You can drive into the park unknowingly. The San Francisco Museum of Science and Technology is also inside the park. It is definitely worth a visit with children!

Golden Gate Park is very large and has many attractions worth visiting, including the de Young Museum, the California Academy of Science, the Japanese Tea Garden, the Conservatory of Flowers, etc. Personally, I think the California Academy of Science is the most outstanding and very interesting science museum.

Golden Gate Park is a popular destination for locals. The endless variety of greenery and seasonal flowers create a unique experience every time you visit. There's a shuttle service within the park, but the wait time is typically 15-20 minutes. Due to the park's vast size, driving is more convenient, and roadside parking is generally available. It's best to check a map beforehand to determine your desired destinations and then drive to find parking.

Golden Gate Park is large and has great views, but it doesn't have any special features.

Golden Gate Park is very large, close to the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge. The University of California, San Francisco is also nearby. It is worth a visit!

We mainly explored the park's beautiful Stow Lake and Strawberry Hill areas. Boats are available for rent here, but the real draw was the diverse wildlife roaming freely in the wetlands. Wild geese with children, ducks, song sparrows, marsh wrens, and seagulls all played with the visitors. If you look closely, you might even spot a great southern heron drying its wings, almost invisible. If you've brought your birdwatching binoculars, I hope you, like me, will also spot downy woodpeckers, nuthatches, house finches, blue-headed blackbirds diligently raising their young, and cedar waxwings from the north this May.



Besides visiting Stow Lake, there are many other options in Golden Gate Park. For example, there's the historic Conservatory of Flowers, the Stribing Botanical Gardens, and the San Francisco Botanical Garden. Of course, the most famous are the Japanese Tea Garden, the de Young Museum, and the California Academy of Sciences. The California Academy of Sciences, a world-renowned science museum, offers a comprehensive range of knowledge on natural sciences, physics, and astronomy. If you have the time, dedicating a full day to it is essential. However, since I was traveling with my parents, whose English wasn't very good, I had to give up. The California Academy of Sciences is also a distinguished institution, designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano, also known for the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The new building won numerous awards and was a pioneer in environmentally friendly architecture. The Exploratorium, a similar museum with a more natural science focus, is also worth a visit, with its Fog Bridge being the most famous.

Golden Gate Park is huge and green, with the De Young Museum, the California Academy of Sciences, the Japanese Tea House, and more. It was supposed to be a great place! But our rental car had its windows smashed there, and it still scars me! Don't leave anything in your car!

Traffic jams all over your world have begun

On a sunny weekend, I was stuck in Golden Gate Park with other citizens.

The four wheels are all stupid. I have been stuck for an hour and I don’t know how long it will take to get to the other side of the bridge. It’s the police sister’s four legs that are powerful.

I stopped and walked decisively when I saw a temporary parking space along the way. It turns out that two legs can beat four wheels in seconds.

Looking at the Golden Gate Bridge on the shore, the little girl in pink clothes is singing happily. Life is so beautiful.

The huge Golden Gate Park is so cozy, with squirrels and ducks everywhere. It's so comfortable to rest by the lake. Locals are dancing, running, and walking their dogs everywhere.

There is no need to elaborate on the fame of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is one of the most unfortunate buildings in the United States and a staple of American disaster movies.

There are three vantage points for viewing the Golden Gate Bridge. There's a viewing point on the south side of the bridge, near San Francisco, where you can admire the bridge without crossing it. However, the best vantage point for the bridge is from Eagle Mountain on the northwest side. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge requires a $6.00 toll (one-way, heading south toward downtown San Francisco). Since the bridge has switched from manual tolling to electronic tolling, you can apply for a One-Time Payment when renting a car, setting a time limit to pay the toll via credit card. If you don't pay the toll when you rent a car and cross the bridge, you'll need to pay online, as there's an additional fee if you're overdue for more than 48 hours.

There are a lot of people exercising on weekends! A great place for hiking

It's very big and good. Free parking is available during fixed hours in the park. The scenery is also very good.

Golden Gate Park is not the park next to the Golden Gate Bridge! We came here because the famous California Academy of Sciences is in this park.

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the landmarks of San Francisco. If there is heavy fog, you can't see it clearly. You can choose to take a bus or ride a bicycle, both of which are fun.

I really want to go, but I don't have time. Compared to a big city like Beijing, it's very pleasant to be able to go to a park with lots of green trees and stroll leisurely.

Iconic building, majestic, a must-see in San Francisco

The De Young Museum here is worth visiting!

Golden Gate Park, established in 1871, was previously known as "The Wilds," a veritable wilderness. Today, millions of lush trees have defied the harsh sands and encroaching winds and fog, transforming the barren landscape into San Francisco's proud green lung. It stands alongside New York's Central Park as one of the two most iconic green spaces on the East and West Coasts of the United States. Within the park are a miniature golf course, the California Academy of Sciences, the de Young Museum, and a charming Japanese Tea Garden. If someone kindly warns you about the risk of getting lost, don't hesitate. Strictly speaking, the vast Golden Gate Park comprises more than a dozen charming smaller parks, some renowned for their gardens, others for their beautiful ponds and springs. The winding paths connecting the various areas weave through the greenery, a true delight for those who love getting lost.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Park serves a similar purpose to New York's Central Park, serving as the city's lungs and a landmark green space for the entire West Coast. Established in 1871, Golden Gate Park spans 1,017 acres, stretching from east to west and spanning 53 blocks. It's currently the largest man-made park in the world.

It's so big that we tourists can only find a few attractions. So as a resident, it's so lucky to have such a big park in the city center.

It's a huge park. I biked around it because I went after High Street and Castro Street that day, so I was running out of time and had to return my bike, so I was a bit reluctant. The park lawn was crowded with family and friends, some playing games, and many people were cycling and running. You can bike all the way to the beach and see the Pacific Ocean. The scenery is amazing.

Golden Gate Park has many small gardens. The California Institute of Technology is also here. The Japanese Tea Garden, the Botanical Garden, and the de Young Museum are also here.

Our last stop in San Francisco was Golden Gate Park, recommended by a friend in San Francisco. This expanse of greenery amidst the bustling city felt a bit like New York's Central Park. The park is so large, we only drove around a third of it. There are lots of small animals there, worth checking out.

When I was at the lake, I saw an elderly couple taking a walk. They brought bread to feed the water birds. They looked very happy. Seeing me taking pictures, they kindly threw a few pieces of bread next to me. The water birds flew over to grab a bite - but my skills were too poor, so I still didn't get a good photo.

Looking at the Golden Gate Bridge in the thick fog, it looks like a girl in red wearing a wedding dress, graceful and charming.

Here you can see the cross section of the Golden Gate Bridge cables, it's amazing!

Golden Gate Park is huge, with many smaller parks inside. We headed for the Japanese park, but the GPS only gave us an approximate location, so we had to park on the side of the road and grope around to find the exact location. It took us a while to find it, and we even walked into something that looked like a cave. But after all the hard work, we finally found it. The scenery inside was pretty good, though it was a little small. One walk around was enough to see everything. By the way, this isn't a public park; there's a fee at the entrance. At first, our family of three didn't realize it and made a fool of themselves.

Golden Gate Park not only has countless attractions, but also countless chairs with stories.

There are also countless people and chairs hidden in the corners.

This is a great place to take a break. Bring a picnic mat and rest on the large grassy area without being disturbed.

The huge Golden Gate Park consists of more than ten small parks, each with its own charm. Some of these parks are famous for their garden landscaping, while others are famous for the beauty of their ponds.

Golden Gate Park, the world's largest park, is a bit like Beijing's Olympic Park, but with taller trees and fewer people. Free parking is readily available upon arrival. We stopped by Slow Lake for a while, feeding the seagulls with leftover bread. The children were both curious and a little afraid of these birds, both large and small. We strolled along the lakeside, where even turtles came out for a stroll under the blue sky and sunshine.

Golden Gate Park is a very well-maintained park with many century-old trees, unlike Chinese parks where most trees are planted artificially. Many Americans like to exercise in Golden Gate Park, and the environment is also very nice, making it a great place for sightseeing.

Golden Gate Park is a long, narrow, open park located next to the Golden Gate Bridge. It features a Japanese garden and a museum, but the rest of the park is open to the public. Children run across the grass, play games, ride bikes, throw Frisbees, swing on the swings, or stroll with their roughly-sized dogs. Others watch, chat, and picnic, thoroughly enjoying a relaxing holiday.

In fact, one day is not enough, especially if you want to visit some exhibitions.

A scenic park near the Golden Gate Bridge, a natural oxygen bar, with several paid scenic spots and museums in the park (Japanese Tea Garden, California Academy of Sciences, de Young Museum). If you live in San Francisco, you can spend a day here on the weekend, which is really pleasant.

The park here has no walls and is like a large green space in the middle of the street. But it is really big and it takes a while to drive around it. I have seen too many national parks and people are not very interested in it.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, established in 1871, was once known as "The Wilderness," a veritable wilderness. Later, San Franciscans, with millions of trees, overcame the barren sands and the harsh winds and dense fog, successfully transforming the wasteland into the city's proud green lung. It now stands alongside New York's Central Park as one of the two most iconic green spaces on the East and West Coasts of the United States.

Our first stop in Golden Gate Park was the renowned Japanese Garden. While inspired by Chinese gardens, the Japanese Gardens pay even greater attention to detail, creating an exquisite little world. The placement and width of each stone and tree are governed by strict standards. The garden's materials are often simple, and even a simple, rough stone can be sculpted and arranged to create a unique and captivating space, imbued with natural beauty.

 

We didn't have much time to wander around, but we did enjoy the park's forest trails and various buildings. The Dutch Garden was particularly impressive, with its massive windmills and vibrant flowers, a testament to its Dutch heritage. We disembarked and spent about half an hour exploring the area. Taking photos was essential, and we all loved the flowers; the pink, red, and purple blossoms brought such joy.

Golden Gate Park, located west of San Francisco and stretching approximately 5 kilometers from east to west, is a free park. It includes more than a dozen small gardens, a sports field, a museum, an art gallery, a children's playground, and more. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a rose garden. Stow Lake, a lake within the park, is ideal for boating. Within Stow Lake lies a small hill, Strawberry Hill. The Moon Viewing Pavilion at the foot of Strawberry Hill was donated by Taipei City over 20 years ago. Admission to the tea garden costs $7, but there are free hours, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Winter and summer hours vary.

Golden Gate Park is beautiful, with many locals cycling, running, and picnicking in it. There are many towering ancient trees in the park, as well as interesting attractions such as the De Young Museum and the Japanese Tea Garden. If time permits, I really hope to stay here a little longer.

The bus stopped at Golden Gate Park, which was packed with tourists, including many Chinese groups. Everyone was taking photos with the bridge in the background.

With its numerous walking paths and gardens, Gate Park is the city's "green lung." After a day plagued by smog, I couldn't help but greedily breathe in the fragrance of green grass under the blue sky.

It's worth a visit, but you need to have enough time to experience it. You can drive inside, so parking is not a big problem. There is no entrance fee.

It's very large and quiet. I personally feel that this is San Francisco's Central Park and it's worth a visit.

Golden Gate Park is a unique park in the heart of the city, where every plant and tree was transplanted. Inherited over a century ago, the original plants and trees now resemble natural landscapes. Golden Gate Park is an open public park.

Because I had a car this time, I could drive quite far! I stopped to explore when I saw a nice place. This place is very similar to the Norbulingka in Tibet. It felt like a magical space transformation.

Due to time constraints, even if we drove, we had to leave because Golden Gate Park is so large that we could not finish visiting it in a few hours. I couldn't help but envy the residents who live near the park. How happy they are!

After careful guidance from a beautiful mother pushing a baby stroller, we arrived at Golden Gate Park... the mysterious gate, as if entering the devil's world...

We crossed a long road and turned, only to find another road! What fools we were! Golden Gate Park is so huge! Thinking we could walk through it all was a fantasy! A fantasy!

SF's urban landscape design is excellent, and Golden Gate Park offers world-class garden design. The beauty of the United States is more direct and natural. Due to environmental protection, the scenery presents a pristine beauty.

We took the bus to Golden Gate Bridge Park. This is a massive urban park, said to rival New York's Central Park. We walked for over two hours and probably didn't even cover a quarter of the park. It's incredible to imagine that in the heart of such a developed city, there's a pristine forest with such rich vegetation. It boasts a botanical garden, a lake, a museum, a golf course, a zoo, and everything in between. The air is moist and fresh, the area is sparsely populated, and the trees are towering. Squirrels, swans, mandarin ducks, and other small animals can be seen everywhere, as well as mounted police patrols. This is my husband's favorite spot.

Compared to other renowned attractions, Golden Gate Park may seem underwhelming, but it's the largest man-made park in the United States. Stretching from the Pacific coast to downtown San Francisco, it's a landmark urban green space on the West Coast, often seen jogging, engaging in extreme sports, and practicing jiu-jitsu. The park also boasts museums, art galleries, and gardens of all sizes, including a botanical garden. An entire day is worth spending here.

▲Tips: The park is huge, so it's not ideal to just walk around. The underground parking lot is large, so you don't have to worry about parking.

The Golden Gate Park is very large, with museums and open-air concert halls, as well as various small parks with unique characteristics. The Japanese Tea Garden is a very unique small garden.

Golden Gate Park is huge and beautiful, well worth a visit. It made me realize that San Francisco still has open spaces. Union Square is so crowded. It was a sunny day, and there were lots of people biking, skateboarding, and dancing in the park, which was a lovely experience.

Golden Gate Park has recreational facilities such as golf courses and tennis courts, as well as museums, art galleries, botanical gardens, etc., including three popular city museums.

In Golden Gate Park, you can overlook the entire San Francisco Bay. The sky is blue and the sea is vast. The scenery is very beautiful.

In Golden Gate Park, you will see some very distinctive Victorian buildings along the way. The building that looks like the Little White House is actually a plant greenhouse located inside Golden Gate Park.

After descending the mountain, we headed straight for Golden Gate Park. This massive park, like New York's Central Park, is a prime recreational spot and the heart of San Francisco. While climbing the rocks was my dream, seeing the lush greenery was even more satisfying! After parking, we began to wander around. It was the weekend, and there were many people enjoying the area, mostly locals.

I don't know if it was the weekend or something, but we actually ran into two weddings in the park. The first was a Western-style ceremony, held in a small courtyard. Unfortunately, it hadn't started when we arrived, so we missed it. But here, we really discovered the casual and open nature of the American people. How did it manifest itself? When we visited the wedding venue, we saw not only one guest in formal attire with sneakers or casual shoes, but also both men and women. So funny, haha.

The second wedding was much more interesting. We came across it in the square. We heard the rumbling drumbeats from a long distance away. We ran over to take a look and found that it was an Indian wedding. Not only were many of the bride and groom and their relatives and friends wearing traditional Indian costumes, but there were also a group of gorgeous white horses!

It's called the largest man-made park, but its design is absolutely natural. When the weather is warm, you can set up a tent, drink beer and enjoy the scenery. It's beautiful.

It is said to be the largest artificial park in the world. Although it is artificially built, most of it still reflects the beauty of nature. The grass is undulating according to the terrain, and the trees are scattered randomly.

Golden Gate Park is so vast that it doesn't feel like a city park. The pristine forest along the way makes it feel like a national forest park. One end of the park borders the Pacific Ocean, and standing on the shore reminded me of my hometown across the ocean.

Before arriving at Golden Gate Park, my only impression of it was that Caesar disappeared into the towering trees in Rise of the Planet of the Apes... But in fact, Golden Gate Park covers an area of 1,017 acres, stretching from the Pacific Ocean with its crashing waves all the way to the center of San Francisco. It is the largest artificial park in the world.

Golf courses, tennis courts, museums (California Academy of Sciences, Asian Art Museum and MH de Young Memorial Museum), art galleries, botanical gardens, Japanese tea gardens, windmills, and even a children's playground, it can be said that it has everything.

It's really easy to get lost in here.

Stretching from the lap of the Pacific Ocean to downtown San Francisco, this is the world's largest man-made park. It boasts a golf course, tennis courts, museums (the California Academy of Sciences, the Asian Art Museum, and the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum), art galleries, botanical gardens, a Japanese tea garden, windmills, and even a children's playground – it's truly a place where you can find everything.

It's really easy to get lost in here.

It's hard to imagine a tranquil, lush forest nestled amidst the bustle of a bustling city. Just a short stroll reveals towering ancient trees, interspersed with rose gardens. GBPark occupies a vast area, a square square facing the sea dedicated to green space. The park boasts numerous science and technology museums, museums, and art galleries, including the renowned Deyang Museum. It's well worth a visit.

It is a large city park, said to be larger than New York's Central Park. The entire park is mostly jungle greenery, which I think is more like a country park.

Golden Gate Park, with lots of people basking in the sun, a large lawn, and lots of brightly colored flowers, is a great place to rest.

The park is huge, with a museum, botanical garden, and a Japanese garden. It's really big, and has plants from all over the world, so it was a lot of fun to visit.

Golden Gate Park is a more beautiful place. Go there and take a look. The blue sky, grass, flowers, waterfalls, bright sun, fresh wind

Golden Gate Park covers a large area, like a forest park. It also houses attractions such as the California Academy of Sciences, the Japanese Tea Garden, and the De Young Museum. It is a major place for Americans to relax and have fun. If you are traveling with children, you must go there, especially the California Academy of Sciences, which combines ecology, flora and fauna, and technology. The De Young Museum has a 9-story observation tower with a distant view of the San Francisco Bay.

It was a foggy morning in San Francisco; I only had a quick look at the Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park; it was too cold and humid in the morning. The guide drove around Golden Gate Park briefly, explaining its history and layout, and then left.

Golden Gate Park covers 1,017 acres, an east-west park at the southern end of the city. Its west side borders the Pacific Ocean, making it a great place for cycling. The park's core attractions are located in the middle of the east side, including the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum. Due to limited time and the vastness of the park, we only visited one attraction: the Conservatory of Flowers, the oldest building in Golden Gate Park.

Golden Gate Park, spanning 1,017 acres, stretches over three miles west from Stanislaus Street to Ocean Beach.
