Great, dog friendly park. If you're not comfortable with your dog off leash, probably not a good place to come. Lots of benches. Also go across the street to Duboce Park Cafe for food if hungry!
Good place to eat lunch on a sunny day. There are a few group tables available and a dozen of benches.
Rare San Francisco example of a public park very well redone, with a good balance of lawns, paths, benches and play areas. Watch for dog owners not cleaning their mess, and a few homeless on ambush.
Great on a sunny day for lunch, but equally gorgeous at sunset!
SF: A real biker bar with heart. It’s the last bastion of the pre dot-com rebel/artist. Park benches on a dirt lot; it's like drinking in a junkyard and is one of SF's most loved hangouts. -IFC Staff
Chill here on a (unusually) warm day in the City.Large bench seating makes it easy to make new friends (who will probably buy you a beer).Free matches with naked bitches on 'em a plus.TAMALE LADY <3
Check out "SF's No. 1 Beer Garden" which offers a charm that just can't be duplicated. Bring a light sweater, snag a picnic bench outside, and feast on pitchers of beer and tamales. Read more.
Yay, benches!
There is a bench near the top of the stairs, one of the most tranquil spots in the city to watch the ships on the bay, the city itself and the greenery in front of you!
Lovely little spot to take in views of the city. At least one very friendly cat in the neighborhood may come say hello if you linger.
Bring a book with you to read on one of the benches or log at the top.
Find a bench, sit, take a deep breathe, enjoy view. Repeat 3 & 4 as necessary.
Awesome view of downtown SF
Go to Ina Coolbrith Park. Grab a seat on the benches on the lower horizontal path. Enjoy one of the best vistas of downtown San Francisco in the entire city. Day or night. Catch a full moon arisin.
One of the best views on the city! Cool and romantic, great to take friends visiting the city with bottle of champagne. Walk up the stairs without turning until the flat part, sit on benches and enjoy
Beautiful park. Perfect spot to sip coffee and enjoy the views!
Do the Sundays Farmer's Market (Sundays 10am - 1:30pm) down the hill, then come up and sit on one of the benches in the garden for a bit. Makes for an incredible Sunday morning.
Hidden gem in Fort Mason.
Grab a sandwich from Greens in Lower Fort Mason or Cafe Franco in the HI hostel and enjoy the beautiful setting.
The long bench under the plants on the south wall is my favorite spot for enjoying a cappuccino in the sun. The people watching is excellent here too.
The princess cake is fantastic! Have it with an Arnold Palmer in the sun with a good friend 😊
Bring something to read and enjoy the view between chapters. A great spot to rest between galleries.
Have a seat on the bench and enjoy the soothing sounds of the ocean as you eat your sando.
Breakfast sandwiches are great (especially sausage). The Zoo is my go to lunch sandwich.
Say hi to phil ed and raul
Sadly, this park is one of the dirtiest and most unpleasant in SF. Poo in the grass, bird poo on all the tables and benches, and lots of vagrants and homeless... Sad for Hayes Valley...

The "view" at this institution is untraditional, but it has a secret garden-slash-backyard filled with hidden corners, leafy benches and groups of friends whiling away a weekend day. Read more.
