You can see almost all of San Francisco from the top, including downtown San Francisco, Golden Gate Park, Pt. Reyes, and Lake Merced.
The park features a dune plant community atop 140-million-year-old Franciscan chert, which was formed when the region was part of the ancient sea floor.
Yes, the park has a small trail network, consisting of 0.2 miles ascending to the top of the park hill, with a majority of the climb made up of wooden stairs. There is also a short trail around the hill top made up of soft sand like soil.
This park is significant because it is one of the many parks in the city that provides access to a park within a 10-minute walk, making San Francisco the first city in the nation to achieve this feat.
You can hike to the top of the hill, relax and take a little walk, have a picnic, or simply enjoy the breathtaking views of the city and the ocean. It's also a great spot to watch the sunset.
