Holly Park

Quiet hilltop park in Bernal Heights with sweeping views over San Francisco and the Bay – a local favourite off the tourist trail.

Holly Park is a small, unhurried neighbourhood park in San Francisco's Bernal Heights district – a green hillside spot far more popular with locals than with visitors. The park offers open views of the city skyline, the bay and, on clear days, the Bay Bridge. The grounds are simple: grass, winding paths and mature trees that attract dog walkers, joggers and families. Those who have moved beyond the standard tourist circuit appreciate it for its blend of genuine neighbourhood character and surprisingly far-reaching views.
