A young girl walks her dog. An older man stretches out on the grass basking in the sunlight reading a book. A twenty-something couple eats lunch side by side sitting on a bench. What all these people have in common is that they share a wide smile, perhaps all happy to be enjoying this unusually sunny San Francisco day at Huntington Park.
Nob Hill resident Cassla Peterson says Huntington Park is one of her favorite places to go to relax and have fun. According to Peterson, “This is just a really nice park. I usually come with my roommates when it is sunny outside. One of the best things about this park is watching all the fun happenings around the park such as the trolleys and weddings.”
Huntington Park has it all. Situated between Grace Cathedral and the prominent Fairmont Hotel, whatever this park lacks in size it makes up for in character. Located on California St. at the top of the hill, this park offers just about something for everyone. The park contains two gorgeous fountains, two separate playgrounds, lush green grass and benches galore to accommodate the many people who come to relax and take in the serene atmosphere.
“I used to come here three or four times a week, but I can only come about two or three times now. I like everything about this park, the swings, the fountains, but I especially like to walk around the park and meditate,” says resident Eileen C, adding, “This park is just absolutely beautiful!”
