From hidden hilltops to epic playgrounds, mini parks are SF's best-kept secret.
San Francisco has no shortage of parkland. Nearly 20% of the city is dedicated to green space, and it’s consistently rated one of the best cities for those who love the outdoors — every resident lives within a 10-minute walk of a. One of the ways the city is able to achieve this remarkable feat is through the city’s mini parks, an initiative that emerged in 1968 to utilize small, unused parcels of land and transform them, especially in areas where park access is limited.
Sixteen parks were built during the inaugural year spearheaded by then-Mayor Joe Alioto, and as of writing, there are 37 parks with the “mini” designation throughout the city, mostly in central San Francisco and on the east side. As someone who findsin the city’s green spaces, I embarked on a citywide adventure to check out every last one.
Living on this narrow park must feel like living in a small English village — that is, until you walk to the San Francisco street on either side. It’s a cute, manicured brick path with adjacent gardens and grass that takes you on a detour between Sutter and Bush streets.
