Top Parks in San Francisco

Parking is tough around the bridge. I suggest using public transit or rideshare apps to save stress and money. It can get pricey with parking fees!

Dress in layers! The weather changes quickly and I was freezing when I thought it’d be warm. A light jacket can make your experience way more enjoyable

Check out the visitor center to grab a free map & info about trails. I didn’t do this and ended up wandering around aimlessly for awhile.

If you're into people-watching, snag a spot near the playground. It's always lively there, lots of fun stuff to see!

I found the best time to visit was around 4 PM. You can catch the sunset and avoid the midday heat - super relaxing!

I suggest bringing some snacks and water with you. The prices at nearby cafes can be a bit steep and it's nice to enjoy a picnic by the water while soaking in those views.

I recommend wearing comfy shoes. You’ll end up walking a lot more than you think, especially if you want to explore different areas of the park and stretch by the docks.
