Huntington Park

This compact park across the way from Grace Cathedral is one of Nob Hill's treasures. It certainly packs a lot into a city block. Intensely green turf, paved walkways, places to sit, a fountain, artsy statuary,even a playground for the kids. I hate that our guide had to hustle us through the park during a gentle rain. I'd like to have lingered a while to soak in the comforting vibe of the place.

Pro-tip: the fountain in the heart of this park is actually a recreation of the Fontana delle Tarterughe in Rome. Extra pro-tip: the golden door of Grace Cathedral across the street is a recreation of the Gates of Paradise in Florence.

Always fun to grab a coffee and chill in this urban oasis, surrounded by the beautiful buildings on top of Nob Hill. There's a breathtaking Art Deco fountain in the middle of the dog friendly park.

Beautiful park to take your kids and relax and read a good book. Great people watching and amazing views! Just three blocks from the apartment!

The park is big, very open, and there are a lot of people in the daytime.
