Some of my favorite views of the city from the stairs looking South, looking North towards the bay at Pierce & Jackson, and looking SE through the park from the top of the park at Jackson & Scott.
Dennis HsuJanuary 15, 2018Pac Heights neighborhood park with great views of the city and North Bay. Great spot for a picnic -- just grab some food from one of the many restaurants on Fillmore St or Mollie Stone's Grocery
freesyayaJune 26, 2016Get your coffee or blueberry muffin in my case. And sit on the top. The view is great.
Tip re: "loose dogs" posted by someone uneducated re: SF. This is one of SF's best dog parks; but if your dog isn't good w/voice control or tends to misbehave, probably best not the place to come.
A SAugust 20, 2019Excellent park facility in Pacific Height. There is a kids playground area and also large grass area for dogs. Breathtaking view of SF. Two visits during our short trip to SF. The kids love it here.
Bennett W WongJuly 17, 2020I love the large perimeter of this park. It’s such a great space to take walks or light jog.
Dov DSeptember 20, 2021Awesome views, very nice playground hard to get into with a stroller from most entrances due to stairs
Panoramic views of the city! Very cute neighborhood 🌳.
Save me a seat on the bench by the steps on the North side looking down Pierce Street. It's one of my favorite places.
Pacific UnionOctober 25, 2012Walk the dog, play tennis, sunbathe, stroll. Don't miss the stunning views, which are particular lovely in the evening.
Possibly my favorite park in the city. Love the swings at night.
Rachel HensleyApril 25, 2011Second only to the GG playground! One of the best parks and views in the city! Great for kids of all ages! And easy parking. Enjoy!!
Mark KupasrimonkolMarch 18, 2015This place is where those outdoor stock photos of delightfully well-dressed families and their dog come from.
- Amazing views of SF from this gem of a park. Also, a cool place to do a stairs workout.
The park ranger does a terrible job of letting you know that he sprayed roundup poison on the long grass. Don't let your dog eat it.
One of my favorite views in the city. Great place to bring dogs!
Marc Jacobs IntlApril 20, 2011Alta Plaza park is only a few blocks from the MbMJ store and has an amazing view of the bay and the city!
Brendan ConronFebruary 23, 2014Walk around the edges and then mount the hill, you just can't beat that view.- On a sunny day head for the south side of Alta Plaza Park and hunker down at the top of the Pierce Street steps - less wind and great view.
Stacey RutherfordJanuary 3, 2012Great park for dogs and all. Very friendly, very sunny and lots of activity!
Great place for your dog to run, play and relieve themselves.
Look for the dog names carved in the cement in the dog area!
See the chips in the southside stairs? That's where Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand drove their Bug in "What's Up, Doc?"
