Alta Plaza Park

  • Address: Bordered by Clay, Steiner, Jackson, and Scott Sts., Pacific Heights, San Francisco, CA | Map It

Fodor's Review:

Landscape architect John McLaren, who also created Golden Gate Park, designed Alta Plaza in 1910, modeling its terracing on the Grand Casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco. From the top you can see Marin to the north, downtown to the east, Twin Peaks to the south, and Golden Gate Park to the west. Little ones like the small, enclosed playground at the top; everywhere else is dog territory.
