Reviews
"I've always loved going to get park. It always makes me relaxed and calm."
"This is merely a place for a great view and photos. There are no facilities or other amenities. Walking up from 30th is good exercise and dog friendly. It is rarely crowded."
"Lovely little park with beautiful view of the SF skyline. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, too. You can walk up from 30th Ave to Billy Goat Park to Walter Haas playground."
"I first learned of this park when one of my kiddo’s parents forgot to mention that they cancelled therapy that day. I decided to enjoy my free evening with a walk, and eventually ran into this park. Years later I decided to go here with my camera and take a long exposure. The way the houses in the near ground layer so perfectly with the hills and city in the distance is breathtaking in person."
"Spend a half hour at this dusty outcrop and enjoy a great view of San Francisco downtown and SOMA. Framed by familiar Aussie gumtrees, the rope swing written about by Gary Kamiya (Cool Grey City of Love, p. 163) is currently reduced to just some tattered ropes until a new batch of neighbourhood kids fixes up the swing for a fresh generation. This is one of the less visited views of San Francisco but far preferable to the teeming sweaty masses and stark concrete of Twin Peaks. San Francisco with soul and atmosphere, and a eucalyptus scent of home for wandering Australians."
