Golden Gate Park has a lot of wonderful things it offers, including a place to ride horses and do archery. But this is also a very small and very nice hidden gem. There are actually two of these windmills in the park pretty close to each other. You can walk to both!

Beautiful park right off of Ocean Beach. Check out the windmills, the beach, and Sutro baths all within walking distance!

Beautiful scenery & close by the beach. The flower garden where the windmill stands is hidden from view of the main street. Looks peaceful & a nice place for a picnic or simply to retreat. Parking is a hit or miss depending on foot traffic. Try to bike here if you can.

One of my favorite places to enjoy the view, picnic and read a book!

Dutch wind Mill is very old.Can find beautiful flowers around the mill.️People can visit Ocean beach.️️ It is very close to it.In Golden gate Park there is one more wind Mill called Murphy wind Mill.Dont get confused.

When you got an interest or fascination for historical spots or just in a mood to look at revitalized monuments, stuff like out of the ordinary and different is what I think of this place. What was and a reminder of what has become now shows a short story of brings back a little of the pass to life. The Queen Wihalmina Tulip Garden brightens and beautifies this place.

Nice place in the morning, as it gets closer to lunch time there are many more people.

There are 2 windmills but you can’t go in them. You can just observe them and checkout the surroundings.The gardens around are in bloom with buds so I imagine it will be very nice when I’m bloom.

Netherlands are known for its wind mills. It is always fascinating to see the Dutch wind mills. No one should avoid wind mill experience if you are visiting Netherlands.

Very cool.reminds me of Holland. And you can legally smoke here in California. Lol.easy street parking.fire pits on the beach across the street. Great beach for romantic walks

I was very surprised to see a windmill in Golden Gate Park. It definitely looks picturesque.

This is one of two beautiful Windmills in Golden Gate Park. It is well maintained and there is a small garden around the windmill. Best visited in spring, to enjoy the tulip blooms and capture some pictures. Gives a little bit of Holland effect in San Francisco!

It was nice to see this! And its been left to rot. So its not as nice as the other windmill.Crazy to think that it use to work and move. It would have been nice to see it working if it wasnt left in disrepair.

Nice windmill but no viewing point of the windmill, grass was tall and block the views.

What an awesome windmill! Never got to see an old style of windmill so close up. Blades are chained down so it cant spin anymore but still cool

Cant believe Ive missed this and havent seen it before !

I just love to see this windmill on my way to the beach. It makes me feel so much closer to where I am from (Germany), a timeless portal to my birthplace....

Such a beautiful & peaceful place. One of my fave places in san diego. theres so much shade and so many beautiful flowers.

Beautiful place. Good for rest.

It is one of the few remaining if its kind. sometimes the tulips are blooming

Great photo opportunity here. Huge flower bed that is amazingly well tended. Very picturesque

A beautiful spot in Golden gate park with a plethora of seasonal flowers. The windmill gives it that extra special ambience

Interesting building and history.

Beautiful historic place, we have spent several meaningful occasions here.

I could see it from the beach. We had a good time at the beach. The windmill looked cool. Might go to it next time. Really enjoyed relaxing at the beach. We brought a picnic.

Loved the old Dutch Windmill and the surrounding area with all the flowers. Parking was a challenge.

Beautiful garden highlights this 118 year old windmill that along with the one on the other side are well maintained. My son had a great time, next time we will go when its sunny and the butterflies are out.

I love the dutch windmill it reminds me of when i lived in Holland !

Its nice to a picnic day.

A very historic windmill on the north side of Golden Gate Park right next to Ocean Beach. There is also a nice tulip garden next to the Dutch Windmill but when I visted I believe they replanted new flowers that were just starting to grow, but still worth a visit.

Very historical 2 biggest wind Mills in the world alot of time & effort went into restoration. Good job

This windmill is for show only. Nice to take pictures but nothing else to do.

Nice attraction next to the ocean. With lots of free parking spaces. Lots of people pets and surprises nearby.

The Dutch Windmill is the northern of two functioning windmills, the other being Murphy Windmill, on the western edge of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California. It was completed in 1903, and placed on the San Francisco Designated Landmark list on December 6, 1981. Dutch Windmill is a great scenic spot to take awesome pictures and it’s right next to the Great Highway and Ocean Beach on the westernmost part of Golden Gate Park. I really appreciate this beautiful historic windmill and I hope you guys enjoy taking photos here as much as I do!Cheers Sincerely, Omaid

Cool old landmark. Pretty gardens.

Lovely, quiet place across the street from Ocean overlook. Bounty of tulips color the meadow in March. Street parking and a few benches in the sun.

So beautiful and clean. I like how you are able to walk through the grassy area and see the flowers up close!

Beautiful structure, you can just sit and enjoy the view. Easy access using public transportation. Right across the street from ocean Beach

Nice little garden. Come here before 10:30 otherwise it’ll be a little bit crowded. Don’t worry about parking cuz it’s you can park at the roadside. But sometimes you might see shattered glass so be aware of your belongings in the car.

Cool spot! It is surrounded by a little beautiful garden full of grass and flowers.

I have not actually been there, yet, but I am a citizen of the Netherlands and it´s fun to see that people enjoy the windmills. I also like the fact that it is being maintained and that there is a Dutch windmill in the US.

Nice colorful spring flowers and tulips

Seasonal flowers and new garden layout everytime you visit.

Go now! The tulips are in bloom. Its beautiful.

This originally was built to supply the local community with over a million gallons of pumped well water per day; when the wind blew. The surrounding environment of that time was all sand dunes; most of Golden Gate Park.The sand dunes were systematically destroyed in favor of creating the current green landscape.Saltwater from the ocean likely was eventually pulled in and contaminated the well water. Delta freshwater is needed to overcome the flow of salt water underground. The large land mass means less freshwater diffusion from the Delta.At one time, with no extractions from wells, freshwater dominated the underground flows out toward the ocean.Setting up rain making equipment like that done in Saudi Arabia could potentially reverse the salt water encroachment.

Dutch style windmill built in 1903. 1 of 2 in Golden Gate Park. Nice tulip garden surrounding it named Queen Wilhelmina Park. Walking distance to the Ocean/Beach and street parking available.

Fun to look at. MNot much to do

Its always nice to stop and smell the flowers.

Beautiful flowers and atmosphere. Nice photo scene.

The dutch windmill is a magical place

Very serene and good place to hangout with friends or family

Gorgeous park area right next to the beach.. Not too many photographers during the week, gorgeous flowers and pollinators everywhere.

I feel like this place can always get a little overcrowded. The lawn always seems a little overwatered and parking of course is terrible. I think said the garden is always beautifully maintained, the flowers are interesting to look at, and this nice little piece of green in the middle of the city should be appreciated if youve never seen it

Good place walking around, have beautiful flowers and trees.

Dutch Windmill, SF......Spectacular!

Beautiful place

Great place to take pics and enjoy the beauty of nature and man.

Easily to spot the windmill from the beach, it is free and massive! Unfortunately I were there too late for the tulips season. It is quiet and has a little park in a pretty shady area, makes it a good place to sit down and rest.

Awesome garden, good vibes.

The windmills used to run the irrigation system that fed the Golden Gate Park Greenery. It is so nice to see these windows restored and to be able to walk around them. I really like taking my dog here and walking around and also bringing visitors from out of town.

Its a lovely spot even on a windy day. Today was calm and clear and it was just perfect.

Often pass by this historical landmark on a run, the grounds are always well kept with blooming beds of flowers all year round!

Tulip flowers in full bloom...

Nice paece so leave us alone

What a view! This is probably one of my favorite places. Love the calm feeling and the beauty of the park.

The grounds could be better kept.

Gorgeous during the beginning of April with all the flowers and gardens.

Love this place... Clean beach, nice people, great for dogs too

Tulips wave in the wind, but windmill doesnt

The first windmill built (1902) in the Golden Gate Park, not to be confused with the Murphy mill on the other side. It was a fully functional mill and it’s interesting to read into it’s history.

Very pretty with the flower garden. Very popular for weddings, there was one the day I went.

Got robbed here. Smash and grab. Gray Infinity with a green bumper sticker. Make sure you do not leave anything valuable in your car. It happened to out SUV and another one across the street. Pretty location but park in a more public space.

Check out the windmill and garden while visiting the beach.

Saw both windmills. theyre a street or two away from each other. I didnt realize there werent any flowers when I went cause I saw reviews and it looked very pretty. It was still interesting to see.

Great spot right at the edge of Golden Gate Park. Can get to the beach-area in just a few steps too. Very quiet and beautiful flowers.

It was a nice windmill

Cool place to take pictures in Golden Gate Park

One of the best kept old windmills that Ive seen. Filled with lovely flowers in its garden. When I visited , there was a marriage ceremony with only 1 guest.

One of the landmarks of Golden Gate Park, the windmill was getting some work done last time I was there, nothing serious, just upkeep and maintenance, so couldnt do much but admire the scenery. Its a gorgeous location and still a great place to take a sandwich and relax and enjoy lunch and the view.

They have beautiful flowers around the mill

Fantastic windmill, a must-seeing in Golden Gate Park.

Very beautiful place, though need some maintenance.

Thought this Windmill would suck, but it doesnt.

Nice small and cute garden and its right in front of ocean beach

Pretty grounds and nice to just hang out.

Those were so cool up close

Good place to walk.

BEAUTIFUL place! Beautiful little garden! I dont think you can go in the windmill but its awesome and not too far away from the ocean.

Nice flower gardens, benchs, and windmills to walk around.

This place is really quiet and a beautiful garden

Wow, so cool!

Nice stop before hitting to the Ocean Beach

Beautiful to look at during sunset. Unfortunately I didn’t get there until sunset so couldn’t get a close view of it.

Beatiful landmark!

Beautiful little flower garden nearby that brings the pretty of the windmill. Even though you couldnt go inside and it doesnt move, it was well maintained.

Beautiful place reminds me of old park without tourists traps.

What a pleasant surprise. Not what I was expexting in the city.

Beautiful seasonal plantings. Lovely place to sit and enjoy the flowers

Neat, but not turning.

Newly planted flowers this week at the old North Dutch Windmill at Golden Gate Park. Should be in full bloom shortly. Lovely spot.... Pacific Ocean just a hundred yards away....
