Review:
The big green heart of San Francisco, Golden Gate Park is 1,017 acres of beautiful flora and fauna. This popular park is a favorite weekend destination, a perfect spot for lunch or practicing tai chi, and is a great place to take a date or visitors. The park is incredibly diverse, carved out from ancient windswept sand dunes by park engineer William Hammond Hall and renowned master gardener John McLaren.
The park includes lush gardens, a breathtakingly beautiful Victorian Conservatory of Flowers, a Japanese Tea Garden, the San Francisco Botanical Garden, Stow Lake, a beautiful Dutch Windmill, Oak Woodlands Natural Areas, the California Academy of Sciences, a Music Concourse where numerous concerts take place throughout the year, and so much more. Even if you live in San Francisco, you are going to be discovering new wonderful spots in the park all the time.
