The drive gets steeper and steeper, it almost scared me. I suggest you have a reliable car to get you up. But the view is worth it. I recommend you go at night. Its a short Beautiful walk

This is a great look out point for the entire city. Great bay and ocean views as well as the downtown area. I hike up here frequently. Be set for some wind and to have to walk up a fairly steep hill to get here. Beautiful views, check it out.

Tank hill is a little piece of heaven. There is no need to hike miles to reach this place, just a flight of stairs and you are on top of the world! The place is so peaceful and beautiful. Gives an awesome view of San Fran like no place else. A must see if you are in the area. It will leave you speachless.

Nice short hike in the middle of San Francisco with a stunning view of the city at the top. It was not crowded but very windy so bring layers!The access is fairly straight forward, you can’t miss it. There is a bench but facing East, probably better for sunrise.

I dont want to spoil it by telling of my favorite fishing hole, otherwise therell be no fish when I come back. That was the best view of the city imaginable. That places existence was recently shared by a local. Theres no room for tour busses, but it has a fabulous point for perstective. Im sure Mark Twain knew of this spot. The tank, I paced off 90 ft circumference. It must have been a spectacle.....

Some of the best views of the city, rivaling Twin Peaks but with infinitely less tourists. It has two entrances neither marked with much fanfare which tends to keep this small jut of rock with the foundation of the water tank it is named for a semi secret local gem.

Located near the geographic center of the city, Tank Hill Park serves up a spectacular bridge-to-bridge panorama for anyone willing to ascend its rocky slopes. It is worth the climb. Above the frenzied pace of the streets, this is a vantage point for stunning views of the citys landscape.Similar to Grand View Park, Tank Hill is a rugged outcrop of rusty red Franciscan Chert, formed on the ocean floor millions of years ago, now jutting up into the sky.

One of the better views of Downtown SF with a bench as well.

Incredible view of the city, and almost completely unknown. Not very touristy and there was no one here when we were here! The walk is definitely a lot of uphill, but its a fantastic view of San Francisco without the tourists.

Just a short stairway up to the hill and a short walk to an amazing view of the city. This is my first morning in San Francisco and I started it off right by watching the sunrise. Its close to where Im staying so Ill definitely be visiting again before I return home to NY. There are some local joggers and people walking their dogs. All very friendly. What a beautiful spot

Most people know of Twin Peak but dont know about this small hill top park with better view of San Francisco downtown. Great place to relax and to show off the fantastic view of the City to your out-of-town visitors.

Local hill-cliff ! A bit smaller than Kite Hill, It’s neighbouring hill, stunning views, high winds (fresh air), large rocks, steps that take you down towards Stanyan/Cole. There used to be a huge tank up here long ago.

San Francisco has many hills and vistas but I would argue this is one of the best ones. It offers some pretty unobstructed views of the golden gate bridge, golden gate park, downtown and the bay. In behind is Sutro Forest. The neighborhood around here is also really pleasant to walk through. It feels like you are not even in the city anymore.

What a beautiful way to end the night and a weekend in San Francisco then overlooking tank Hill it seem like the town was out that night the vibe was beautiful San Francisco was beautiful I cant wait to return I really enjoyed my time. This was definitely in the icing on the cake.

Im tempted to give this place a bad review just to ensure people keep going to twin peaks instead of tank hill. Great view over San Francisco and the GG bridge (on a clear day) and almost no people even in early July. Much more pleasant to walk to than twin peaks too, especially if you come from the GG park area.

This will always be a very very special place that I will always have near and dear to my heart. One day, the love of my life and I discovered this place, while driving around SF. When we got to the top of the hill, after walking up some stairs, we were both just absolutely stunned at the true beauty of San Francisco, as you can see almost every part of my beautiful city here. We loved this place so much that we come here whenever we had a chance. When ringing in the New Year in 2016, we spent the whole morning watching the sun come up for the first time in the New Year and I will never ever forget how gorgeous this was. I am so happy that weve found such an amazing place to experience together. We will never stop visiting this place.

Small park with a lovely just-over-the-roof view of the surrounding neighborhoods. Gets a bit crowded during the weekend, but still worth passing by, sitting for a while and contemplating the city.

Review №88

Its super windy and rocky up here but you get a great view of the city. On a clear day you can see the Golden Gate Bridge. There are people who come with their dogs, jog, or just hang out. The center is a big circular cement platform but theres a lot of birds of rocks and trees, so there will be a need for cleaning if you want to picnic here.

Great place with amazing views. There was an old fire water tank here until the city moved it about 500 yards away. They closed it down because it was outdated and people dumped there fish in the tank if they didnt want them. There is still a concrete circle in the middle of the hill which is where the tank used to be.

Review №91

Small park with panoramic views east across the city to Oakland and Mt. Diablo on a clear day, and north across the city to the Golden Gate Bridge and the Headlands. It only has one or two benches, but there are also not usually more than a handful of people there. You can reach it by taking stairs that lead up from Twin Peaks Blvd, or by starting in Cole Valley and climbing south into the hills and then looking for a staircase where the streets end. Either way its a pretty good climb.

Quick walk to stunning sweeping city views. You can see the Oakland side from one direction and all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge from another. Jagged rocks and wind make this intimate spot feel removed from the city bustle. Very quiet and beautiful.
