Beautiful gardens. This is the best gardens, some people even tell me it may be the greatest gardens ever. I don’t know, but I will say it’s a beautiful one, unlike anything you’ve ever seen. And we’re gonna make it a lot lot better. You’ll see, when we’re finished these gardens will be the the greatest gardens in the world. You watch. We’re gonna make these gardens great again so we can have the gardening jobs back. You watch.

Great place to hang out and enjoy the scenery. It is located right in the middle of other retail places like the Metreon and the Westfield. There is a church and Jewish Museum nearby. There is a lot of parking around here namely the oarking garage between 5th and 4th streets.There is Target, Trader Joes, Starbucks, Mels Drive In all around the park. I saw an exercise group on the lawn one morning.Overall, a decent place to go to.

At Yerba Buena Gardens it was beautiful out today. Thanks JJ, I also put a pic from 4 days ago in there at night.

This is a piece of outdoor beauty in the middle of the city. It also hosts a impressive MLK memorial. The use of multiple levels helps to provide more square footage without taking up more of the block. I have found it easy to maintain the 6 foot rule in this open air space.

The Yerba Buena Garden is perfectly situated in the middle of spectacular Art Galleries. Its relaxing to see some nature/green/fresh plants amidst skyscrapers! The water fountain is a good attraction site. You cant miss it!

Nice place to have lunch on a nice day or catch the occasional free music. I am just grateful this park is here as central SoMa is otherwise devoid of parks. Also, note that dogs aren’t allowed here either in spite of some reports to the contrary.

Its a pretty nice park to visit and eat outside. Unfortunately, like a lot of SF, its a bit dirty and youll need to search for a spot to sit that seems clean enough to not make you nervous.

Beautiful place. Nothing very special about it but still one of my best places in San Francisco!What I like the most is the small waterfalls. Pleasure and relaxing while being behind them.

A gorgeous little oasis in downtown SF which sits at the edge of the Citys Financial District.Beauty is the goal and they hit the mark. Fountains, pools & waterfalls of flowing water surround walking paths making it a visually enjoyable place to take a stroll and gaze at gardens, sculptures & unique modern architecture.

Lovely place with a huge green lawn, terraces, fountains and waterfall. Plenty of space, many benches on sunny spots and in a shadow. Good for rest with friends and family. Food court, cafes and several restaurants are nearby.

Its a nice little park, just at times dominated by homeless people, so it can be hard to find a spot to sit and relax.

Peaceful and Tranquility in the midst of hectic activity. A good place to chill, take a breather and regroup. A wall of waterfall adds to the ambience. Part Sun, part share with a big grassy lawn to sit or lie down. Benches available as well. Will connected to all public transit. Waterfall in one end and Church in the other.

I have been in San Francisco for a while now and love to explore places in the city, and I have to say this Garden does not get enough credit for its location and it’s value.It has a beautiful water fall like atmosphere surrounded by beautiful historic quotes from powerful idols.You can also relax on some benches or even on the field of grass, during the day there are a lot of food places for all you foodies out there. And sometimes even live music.Enjoy!

Oasis in the city!!!This is a very relaxing open green space complemented with a water falls that adds to a more soothing ambiance. There are some restaurants around or just grab something to go and bring it here. If you’re lucky, catch a free performance.

If youre visiting the Museum of Modern Art, I encourage you to take a minute and walk south to this little city park. In addition to a short walk around green grass, check out the Martian Luthor King memorial behind to waterfall to learn a little history and stroll UP the wheelchair accessible path lined with water to a cute flower and trellis supporting lovely purple Wisteria. Before COVID-19 there was a pricey cafe specializing in teas with seating under the trellis. For more affordable option, I recommend getting lunch at Metreon (on the south side of the park) or an icecream treat from Target, and spending a half hour or more unwinding in this nice little park.

It was like many other places on the filthy side. Outlets were visible near a seating area but not working. It could improve and even perhaps pay some patrons for upkeep.

Beautiful, beautiful place. Its next to the Metreon and art institute/gallery, so you could spend several hours here no problem. Really hard to describe how captivating the views are here. It contrasts especially well with the grittiness of the area. Thats only in the daylight though. Once night falls, it gets kinda terrifying

Great area to come and relax on your lunch break. When the weather is nice it’s really enjoyable. There’s a large plot of grassy area and a couple art structures and outdoor landscaping decor to enjoy. It’s also next to the Metreon so there are food options nearby.

An excellent place to relax, unwind and refresh in the midst of skyscrapers !! A beautiful graden space with fabulous landscaping which is very soothing to mind and you get energized by visiting and spending some quality time over here. A very welcoming place with variety of trees with blooming colourful flowers, walkways, beautiful lawn, water bodies, benches all around, play things for children and an ampitheatre too! It is green and colourful with fountains and man-made waterfalls. You can spend good time with your family, friends and children here in the midst of natural setup. Great place to play, work, meditate and also have a picnic !! I just loved this place, a perfect rendezvous with nature for a tired body and mind

Great place to hangout solo or with friends or with the family. Slight hills, clean and fresh cut grass, or if you prefer plenty of benches all the way around. Most of the time people are taking a nap, reading or people watching. But unfortunately dogs are not allowed in and around.

Review №77

Cool little park in the middle of the city. I agree with other reviewers that there are a lot of drifter types in the area so you may run across some uncleanliness here and there. However, this has great views on every side of the park of the skyline and of course the historic church across from it. Worth a stop while exploring the city.

A cool park I will say to get away from city noise, located in between financial district and downtown San Francisco and sourrended by movie theatres, eateries, museums and church.

One of the things I like so much about San Francisco is the prevalence of public parks and open spaces. This is a beautiful spot in the middle of SoMa where you can escape for a bit or just soak up some green amidst the hotels and high rises. Its also bordered by several eateries and within a block of several more, so a really nice spot for lunch. Not too overrun with tourists and never had any issue with panhandlers, so in general I would say that its very safe and free of drama.

Beautiful park in the middle of the financial district, perfect for a walk or a bit of relax also great place for kids, very spacious. You can often find people doing yoga, jogging and even Thai chi. From here you have a view on the Martin Luther king memorial, on the beautiful Jessie Square and on the unusual architecture of San Francisco museum of modern art.

Small park with too many people seeking shade and green. No place for kids to unwind and play. My son carried baseball bat and bowl and unfortunately was sad as there was no place to play. Park ends before it starts. Then there are parking issues, one ways to trouble you. Falling water is treat and is a distraction for kids in good sense. We liked Martin Luther kings writings on the wall. Will keep your 5-8 year old excited. A bit surprised with 5 star reviews. Overall disappointing!!!

An oasis in the busy downtown area where one can wander along the paths and enjoy the plants and people taking a break from the rat race and breathe in some fresh air and feel the refreshing wind on their face. Very invigorating. The Martin Luther falls is a good place to reflect on the struggles of Dr. King and panels detailed out important events in the life of this great civil rights pioneer.
