Famed Haight-Ashbury Street creates the geographic northern front of this 37-acre park, whose highest hilltop ascends an impressive 575-feet above sea level and affords those who reach its apex with stunning views of the gorgeous Marin Headlands and Golden Gate Bridge. Buena Vista also bears the title as San Francisco’s oldest-founded park, with its birth date in 1867—with the original moniker, Hill Park—preceding even that of the city’s vast Golden Gate Park. This inviting enclave of inner-city nature is a resident favorite.
