One of my favorite nooks in SF. Came here just before evening descended with a little bit of light left in the sky. The view is so inspiring- especially in these pandemic times!

One of the best kept secrets on San Francisco is Ina Coolbrith Park. Small with just a few benches ICP has no bad views and are your reward after the steep incline trot up the hill, so leave you heels at home.

Living literally two blocks away from this place my whole life, Ive always taken it for granted until I moved away for college. Golden Gate Park is pretty huge and its great for walks or jogging. There are so many paths and this place never gets old! Its great for jogging because of the constant change of scenery, one moment youre running around a lake and within a few minutes later youre running along the bison paddock!

One of my favourite spots in SF! Great view of the city without the huge crowds.

Gorgeous! This place is definitely a gem. The views are absolutely stunning. You have to find parking on the street. There is an incredible view of San Francisco and Alcatraz. The landscaping is impeccable. Super well maintained. Great spot to get away from your day to day life. I appreciated the fact that my family was the only one around. Very quite and peaceful. Its definitely a place you cant enough spot from the street, especially if you are randomly driving by.

Local small park on top of a hill with great view to bay Bridge, SF city and the ocean. Great for sunrise and sunset.

Great scenic spot, many benches and good for socially distanced hangouts!

Great view of the city and cool spot to do R-rated stuff w. boys.

Cute and tiny. And transforms into a post-date make out spot rather quickly after sunset.

Probably one of the COOLEST spots to an over view of SF city and Alcatraz.Best way to get there is to walk from Pier 39 ( that’s only if you don’t mind walking or hills).Went there in the afternoon, nice neighbourhood, fancy houses around, beautiful scenery, just a great place for a cute walk with the one you love!Or even for meditation!You SHOULD pass by it if you’re going to see Lombard st.

A little hidden gem in the city with views of the skyline and the bay. It is a great place to visit just be careful with the steep hills

View North Beach from above. Ina Coolbirth was an early pioneer in California during the 1850s. A marker designated for the graves of Russian sailors from the 1840s is above the park. This is how Russian Hill got its name.

This place has the most fabulous view to the downtown, there are benches starting from the highest level and you can sometimes observe the COLIBRI birds flying and gathering nectars from the flowers in the park

I absolutely loved thw view...definately going back soon

Without a doubt, this is one of the better kept secrets of the city. When it comes to green spaces, San Francisco has several locations with several thousand people all flocking to them at the slight hint of sunshine. However, if you want a more intimate space with the city unfurling before you while you sip Rosé and talk about boys and blockchain, this is the perfect park for you. I would also recommend this to those, that want to spread out a blanket and read a book amidst nature while not having to listen to the cacophony of noises from other people. This park is small, so go early and youll find a great location. If you are the romantic, this is a great place to be perched and read Cool gray city of Love: 49 views of San Francisco while looking at San Francisco.

Nice little spot to sit. Quiet during the week but can a bit noisy on the weekends on clear sunny days.

Beautiful little gem with an amazing view, if you’re lucky enough you might stumble into the flock of wild parrots :)

A teeny, tiny pocket park with lovely views of Alcatraz and Treasure Island. It’s also a nice place to stop and rest your feet and calves if you are walking from downtown to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Beautiful views of the city any time of day!

Incredible views of the city. Recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco. Seems to be a local spot for exercise as the roads are super steep and the park is full of steps. Plenty of benches and spots to sit and take in the views. Downtown to the right and Alcatraz can be seen from the left.

Park provides excellent views of the skyline. It’s located on what seems to be one of the steepest hills in the city. The park is small, but covers a wide range of elevations. There are paths and benches. Plenty of homes to gawk at. And views of the sea.

A beautiful place with wonderful views over San Francisco.

Thats one of the hidden spot that I have known for years, better be there at night time, such a great view ️

Really enjoy coming to the park as its not to havey with tourist ... Nice local park too visit too see

Its quiet, peaceful and has great views. It is not a large park. There are a few benches for sitting.

Amazing view of the city. The road to get there is steep and tiring. But worth the effort to get there. So many beautiful flowers and plants. Grab a bench and absorb the view of the city.

Lovely view! Benches available to enjoy the view!

Great cool place for a view :)

A great place to see the Skyline. Getting a parking space nearby the park can be a challenge. We had to park 0.4 miles away and way on the steep ramps!!

Great views. pretty flowers. birds chirping. top place to relax

Absolutely beautiful views. You can see Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, and the City from it. It is a bit of a hike to get to, but worth the walk.

Amazing spot to enjoy the beauty of the city on one side..and the historical remainder Alcatraz on the other. Night view of the Coit tower from here must not be missed.

Beautiful space with an amazing view and parrots!

Very cool view at sunset and just a few blocks from great restaurants and wine bars on Union & Hyde. It’s a steep walk to get to this small SF park, but the view is worth it! Makes a great stop for a date too!

The views here are something else. Have already been here like 3 times now and in love with this spot. Its a fairly small park with lots of stairs, flowers, benches to picnic on and gorgeous views.You have pretty much a 180 degree view starting from coit tower to the transamerica building with everything in between and on a clear day you can see the Bay Bridge and Oakland city from here. As you enter Inas Park on Taylor and Vallejo you can enjoy the secret views of Alcatraz. I repeat, needs to be a very clear sunny day so you can soak in these beautiful views.As you exit Ina on Vallejo and Taylor, cross the street and climb up the stairs for more gorgeous views on the Russian Hill -Vallejo street crest historic district with gorgeous views and neighbourhood.

Beautiful views in a secluded park

Great views of the city from this small park located on one of the highest points in the city. Clear view of Alcatraz

Views for days!! Especially at night. The hike up and down are hard but so worth it. A good workout too. There is Street parking but it does get full quick.

Beautiful at night. People walking their dogs enjoying the scenic view. Some parts dark enough to be cruisy. Watch out for coyotes.

Oh my god, the first time I found about this park, I was raptured by the scenic view of SF city buildings and hills. On the other side you will be able to watch mesmerizing horizon during sunset towards water.

Small park with a super nice view of the city. Super cool

Magnificent scenery. Much better than Lombard street to me.

Very quiet park with little no people and STUNNING views - Bay Bridge + Financial district skyscrapers on one side, and Alcatraz island and the bay on the other

Very lovely place with good views and tons of plants.

A great location for City’s view.

Great views of the city

Hidden gem with wonderful views of the bay bridge and the fidi

You can not get a better view of San Francisco anywhere else.

Great view! The stairs are not too bad, its got resting points every now and then.

Nice place to take pictures and think

The OA House! Wooohooo ;)

Arguably one of the more underrated spots in the city. Although thats not necessarily a bad thing.

This is my absolute favorite part in the city. I recommend taking your friends here from chinatown. Be warned though, you will need to traverse a few flights of stairs but will be roughly rewarded with some beautiful views of downtown, the bay bridge, and the east Bay.

A couple of views from the park at night. Great location right smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood. No lights at night which is phenomenal for photogs!

Beautiful secluded park with incredible views in every direction

Tough walk was great rewards from the view

Great views but very little area to sit and almost no grass to sit on.

Gets crowded right before Sunday. This is a problem because it is a small park.

Neat park with unparalleled views of to the north (Alcatraz), east (Bay Bridge/Treasure Island) and south (skyscrapers of downtown SF) which cannot be said for most parks in the city. Several benches to take a peaceful rest at. Someone proposed to his girlfriend while I was there!

Really great view over the city

My girlfriend and I passed through Ina Coolbrith Park when we parked our vehicle. Its beautiful especially at night with the lights. Fun experience.

Abundant greenery with nice view.

One of the picture was edited by google photos, pretty view of high rise buildings.

Favorite spot to see bay bridge and buildings at night.

Great place to enjoy an awesome view of: downtown(sales force building)/ the bay bridge/ coit tower/ and even Alcatraz. Its on a bit of a hill but its worth it.

Beautiful sunrise spot and its a layered park ..so expect to walk some steps .. parking is a challenge here

Possibly my favorite spot in the city - fantastic view, but small enough and out of the way enough that its never too crowded. I often bring a book to read here on the weekends in good weather.Hike up the stairs behind it for a good small grassy spot thats great for watching a sunrise or sunset.

Best views of San Francisco if the day is clear. The whole area gives amazing views

Awesome little oasis in the middle of the city. Even hummingbirds like it.

Awesome city view!

This is a small park, but it has benches and is clean and well taken care of. Also, it has beautiful views of the city and Bay. That is probably why youd want to visit.

The hills are STEEP, the view is Amazing!

Very nice place to see San Francisco view

Love this park! Such great views of SF and always a good workout to go up all those stairs (the view is always worth it)

Beautiful views of the city and the bay :)

Plenty of plants, vast views, and a chill spot to sit and ponder deeply...

Great view, with flowering plants and tall trees!

Very scenic and beautiful landscape, a great date idea in the evening.

Its like a small piece of Golden Gate Park, with a beautiful view of the bay bridge.

Its a tiny park on a hill in San Francisco. Theres a beautiful view of the bay and city from here. You might need to climb some steep slopes to get here- so beware! :D Its totally work it though.

Great little hill top park that I disappear to about once a month. Last month I visited and caught the Blue Angels during Fleetweek

Best view of San Francisco skyline

Beautiful view after a good walk/climb

Steep hill to walk and burn all these calories we ate and end up at this beautiful view point.

Awesome park! Also right next to Russian Hills.

Simple, but nice view. :-)

Great views

Amazing view, perfect place️️

Small and well kept

Great little park in the middle of SF. Randomly ran into this little place in late afternoon and it was very tranquil with almost no one in it. Its very small so dont expect to do much but it could potentially be a ace to have a picnic. Highly recommend if you just want to sit somewhere unbothered

Lovel Spot, met an amazing man who gave myself and my husband some tips on the best places to visit. We talked for over an hour - I sadly forgot to ask your name. We thank you anyway! We had the best one on San Fransisco. Find me on Facebook- if by any chance you see this. Loved the morning rolls from Tartine. Julie

Secluded and pitch dark at night. Respect the neighbors. Keep it down and clean up after yourself.

Great sanctuary space been visiting this Park since 1990. Lots of nooks to sit, read, eat. Closest Public bathroom is at Garce Cathedral. Can walk up Vallejo steps theres a patch of lawn to the right to sit on down to China Town. Thanks for being!

Possibly one of the best views in the city. The park has been re-planted with native drought resistant foliage. Some of the Century Plants are flowering this year.

Nice little park with cool views hidden in Russian Hill.

Great view from Russian Hill. Nice brisk walk.

The best city for cardio cardio workout getting around here

Cute, Tiny little park atop Taylor St, I believe very very steep climb, with incredible views.Alcatraz, Bay Bridge & the downtown Financial District w/TransAmerica building.

Fantastic views, nice walking workout.

City view is gorgeous from this park. There is always space on one of the benches, to sit and read or just enjoy the view
