Golden Gate Park
The Golden Gate Park is known for hosting the now extinct bison in 1891. The park was initially developed on 1,013 acres of dunes in an unincorporated area of the Peninsula, known as the Outside Lands. The park contains five playgrounds spread across, and its landscape is home to over 600 forested acres and 33 lakes.
There are numerous athletic courses, fields, and courts where visitors can play soccer, baseball, tennis, and more sports. The park is also home to several unique gardens, including the Shakespeare Garden and Rose Garden. The garden has numerous commemorative tree groves like the National AIDS Memorial Grove. The park became a sanctuary after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, which comfortably housed 200,000 homeless residents.
