Buena Vista Park

Buena Vista is a public park in the Buena Vista and Haight-Ashbury heights neighborhood. The park is located in the center of the city and offers spectacular views of the San Francisco city from the top of lush slopes. This park is spread across 36-acres, and is the oldest park in San Francisco. It is a place for recreation, to enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with your loved ones.

This park was once an arid hill, with sandy-dune like terrain. However, after the establishment of the park in 1867, the park was put under development with a heavy supply of trees. Today, the place is amid lush greenery!

The park features a playground for kids with slides, swings, and benches. The area is on a bed of sand with trees all around. There are two outdoor tennis courts, functioning on a first come, first serve basis. Along the west side of the park, the paths are lined with repurposed broken headstones from the Victorian cemetery. The park also features coast live oak woodlands. Various events & activities are held in the park occasionally.
