: I’ve explored almost every park in San Francisco, and these 7 have the most spectacular city views — the kind that make you feel like you’re standing above the skyline. 1. Twin Peaks — The ultimate panoramic view of San Francisco. You can see everything from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate. Best at sunrise or sunset. 2. Kite Hill — A peaceful local spot above the Castro with sweeping skyline views. It’s quiet, breezy, and one of those places that feels hidden in plain sight. 3. Ina Coolbrith Park — My favorite hidden gem. It frames the Bay Bridge and downtown perfectly — especially beautiful at sunrise or at night when the lights come on. 4. Bernal Heights Park — Locals’ go-to for golden-hour magic. The panoramic view, the little swing, and the soft evening light make it feel cinematic every single time. 5. Dolores Park — The heart of the Mission. It’s lively, full of sunshine, and the skyline view from the top of the hill is classic San Francisco energy. 6. Alamo Square Park — That postcard-perfect view of the Painted Ladies with the city skyline in the background — pure SF charm. 7. Grand View Park (Turtle Hill) — A short climb up the 16th Avenue tiled steps leads to a breathtaking 360° view — ocean, Golden Gate, and city all at once. Each park shows a different side of San Francisco’s skyline. If you love city views, this list is your ultimate guide 🌿💛 Comment “park” for the map view of all the San Francisco parks with stunning skyline views!
