About this place

Buena Vista Park rises near the center of San Francisco with secluded winding trails, views from its upper slopes, and one of the city's few remaining coast live oak groves.

Setting
Wooded hill near the center of San Francisco

Highlights

  • Coast live oak groveThe northern natural area protects a surviving coast live oak woodland that supports birds, small mammals, insects, and other wildlife.
  • Winding hillside trailsSecluded paths climb through the park toward views from the upper slopes.

History

Some trail drainages and gutters contain fragments of historic headstones. As San Francisco removed most of its cemeteries between 1914 and the 1940s, unclaimed stone was reused in public works, including structures in Buena Vista Park.
