Golden Gate Park

San Francisco oasis

Golden Gate Park is a large urban park in San Francisco, stretching from the city's center to the Pacific Ocean.

At over a thousand acres, it's larger than New York's Central Park and contains gardens, museums, lakes, and meadows.

The park is a major landmark and recreational space: We rented bikes and rode through Golden Gate Park.
