LOST SUNGLASSES HERE: Saturday 11/28. If found, please message me here.Really wonderful spot for sunny, social distanced gatherings. We out up a volleyball net and enjoyed walks to bison paddock and surrounding areas. Just beautiful.
A real gem. Big open lawn, enclosed within elevated tree line and quiet road. Bathroom on site. Hot dog vendor nearby. Great spot for families. Walking distance to other great spots!
Nice area for an outdoor socially-distanced gathering. Easy access and parking is reasonable in the morning and early afternoon. Public restroom available!In the mid to late afternoons it can get crowded and people are less apt to protect themselves or the others around them.
Great place to enjoy a beautiful Oasis in the city.Lots of music and dancing on Saturdays.
Great tucked away knoll for hosting a BBQ or park hang.
Love t h Id place great place for peace
Great spot in the middle of Golden Gate Park. Large lawn with some benches and easy to find parking along the edge of the park.
One of the best places for a family picnic in the fall.
Great spot to stay away from your friends... While being close to them
Great spot to hang on a sunny day.
Nice area but very hard to access if youre not parked on JFK. The map directions are deceiving!
Attending Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Amazing music and pretty much everything else. Its also great when few people are here.
Always love this park. Its one of the best City parks in the world
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the best San Francisco event!! Not just because its free- its so much more than that. Forever grateful for Warren Hellman!
Great place to relax on a sunny afternoon!!
Great place to enjoy the outdoors
A short time here gives you so much more
I went here for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, an event that attracts well over 100,000 people. Definitely a sea of humanity. However, I find if one plans ahead as to what to see and at what stage, then its possible to get a decent spot and enjoy the music. So thankful that Warren Hellman left money after he passed to continue this amazing music festival.
On a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, this is where its at in the city.
I saw a Robert plant in this meadow and it was a beautiful meadow to be able to experience that in.
Hardly, Strictly Bluegrass, be there next October.
The site of many rock concerts in San Franciscos hippie era, then known as Speedway Meadow or to some as Strawberry Fields. One of the most memorable was the Summer Solstice Concert in June of 1967. Two bandstands were set up on the Hollow. One featured the Quicksilver Messenger Service. The main bandstand nearer to the Polo Field had The Grateful Dead followed by the Jefferson Airplane. Two more bandstands were on the Polo Field, with the Ace of Cups at the side of midfield and Big Brother and the Holding Company at the east end. The Diggers served free food of grilled fish at the Hollow.
If you want to find a gorgeous and quiet spot in the Golden Gate park, this is the place.
It is always great to be there for Hardly Strictly
Great place to walk around.
Named after Warren Hellman, founder of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass concerts and a great beautiful man. Look for a commemorative plaque on the East End. Used to be Speedway Meadow. Beautiful patch of green grass. A place for a picnic with a large crowd or a rowdy game of kickball (most of the time with beer). This is where the main stages of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass exist during the concert. Theres even a public bathroom there. Theres a asphalt path on the south side, that has a mild slope that good for young beginning bike riders and skateboarders. Hellman Hollow runs all the way down to the Polo Fields.
Its lovely and peaceful to relax and have BBQ uwu
I always enjoy going to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and one reason is because the park is so beautiful. I love seeing the sunset start while Emmylou Harris does the last set.
Super fun totally chill. Great music and perfect weather. A great way to spend a Friday.
Great place too set up a camp and spend the day lounging around watching the tourist do their picnicing thing
It nice place to have a picnic there is the bathroom too.
Nice place to take a walk

Hardly too much fun Strictly! Thank you, Warren, and may Angels pluck banjos to help you sleep!
Hardly strictly bluegrass.. if if youre going this is where youll be... free 3-day concert and starts tomorrow October 6th 2017 every year around the same time
Beautiful place to hold a planned event
This is an excellent place to have a large group picnic event. The downside is parking here on the weekends is a nightmare because everyone else has the same idea. Theres plenty of room to throw a ball around or play Frisbee.
Fun place to visit

Chill place for a birthday parry or s low key bbq
A huge open space with room to play outdoor sports, host a picnic at the picnic tables and public grills, run with your dog, or just bask in the beauty of the Golden Gate Park. Public restrooms are located here and theres parking on the north side of the Hollow.
