Corona Heights Park is a charming park in San Francisco's Corona Heights and Castro neighborhood, located immediately south of Buena Vista Park. The park, which is also referred to as Rocky Hill, is best known for its use as a setting in Fritz Leiber's 1977 horror novel Our Lady of Darkness. Visitors can observe a variety of native reptile, bird, and butterfly species throughout the park or view spring wildflower displays, including growth of California poppies and rare Johnny jump-ups. The peak of the park is a popular spot for panoramic city views despite its frequently windy conditions, offering views as far away as the city's iconic Twin Peaks. Other attractions include the Randall Museum and the Corona Heights Playground.
