Buena Vista Park

  • Address: Haight St. between Lyon St. and Buena Vista Ave. W, Haight, San Francisco, CA | Map It

Fodor's Review:

If you can manage the steep climb, this eucalyptus-filled park has great city views. Be sure to scan the stone rain gutters lining many of the park's walkways for inscribed names and dates; these are the remains of gravestones left unclaimed when the city closed the Laurel Hill cemetery around 1940. You might also come across used needles and condoms; definitely avoid the park after dark, when these items are left behind.
