Golden Gate Park

城市概覽

The Richmond is a neighborhood bordered on the north by Lincoln Park and the Presidio, Arguello Boulevard on the east, Golden Gate Park on the south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. The Richmond is divided into the eastern Inner Richmond and western Outer Richmond by CA Highway 1 (Park Presidio/13th Avenue), which runs north-south. The Richmond District is not to be confused with the city of Richmond and Point Richmond, which are located in the East Bay. San Francisco's Sunset District covers a large, mostly residential area on the west side of San Francisco. It is bordered on the west by Ocean Beach, on the north by Golden Gate Park, on the south by Sloat Boulevard, and on the east by a vague boundary roughly around 7th Avenue. It was built on a grid pattern and the vast majority of the housing in the area was constructed between 1920 and 1950. Most of this housing was constructed by the Doelger Company, and the majority of houses in the neighborhood follow one of two floorplans that the Doelger company offered. There are exceptions to this, such as a pocket of houses nearby Sunset Boulevard that were designed instead by Oliver Rousseau, which have a curiously fairytale feel to them. The Sunset is divided into the eastern Inner Sunset and the western Outer Sunset by CA Highway 1 (19th Avenue). Sometimes this two-part division is abandoned however, with residents referring to the Middle Sunset, in between 19th Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. These three neighborhoods are fairly distinct, with the Inner Sunset being a more culturally mixed area, the Middle Sunset being much more culturally Chinese, and the Outer Sunset more oriented around Ocean Beach and activities there. The Sunset's majority population is Asian-American, and this increases west of 19th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, where Chinese and Chinese-Americans make up a little bit less than 40% of residents. The Chinese community in the Sunset dates from the middle 20th century, when restrictive covenant

如何抵達

By Muni Richmond's central east-west artery is Geary Boulevard. Frequent bus service from downtown via Union Square is provided by the 38-Geary and the 38R-Geary Rapid buses. Even though the district only spans eight blocks from north to south, there are also parallel bus lines 1-California and 2-Clement north of Geary and lines 31-Balboa, 5-Fulton and 5R-Fulton Rapid south of Geary Boulevard. Much of the Sunset neighborhood is accessible via the N-Judah and L-Taraval Muni Metro light rail lines. East-west bus lines through Sunset include the 23-Monterey, 48-Quintara/24th St, 66-Quintara and 7-Haight/Noreiga. North-south bus lines which connect Richmond and Sunset through Golden Gate Park include 18-46th Ave, 28-19th Ave and 29-Sunset. Additionally, the 44-O'Shaughnessy runs up from Twin Peaks to the southeast and through Golden Gate Park past the de Young Museum, continuing up 6th Avenue into the Richmond neighborhood. The 18 Bus is notoriously unreliable and at best comes infrequently, while the 28, 29, and 44 are some of the most reliable busses in the city.

By car Running north/south through the area and serving as the major traffic artery is Highway 1 (19th Avenue). In Sunset is another major road called Sunset Boulevard, located between 36th and 37th Avenues and running north/south from Lincoln Way to Sloat Boulevard. Geary Street is the central east/west artery through Richmond. Fulton Street runs east-west, marking the northern edge of Golden Gate Park while Lincoln Way runs east/west along the southern edge of Golden Gate Park. The southern border is marked by Sloat Boulevard which runs east/west. The Great Highway used to be open at the edge of the city, bordering Ocean Beach. However, it was closed by a ballot initiative in 2025, and has become a park.

Golden Gate Park

4 Golden Gate Park (between Fulton Street on the north, Lincoln Way on the south, Stanyan Street on the east and Ocean Beach on the west). 5AM-midnight. Once an area of sand dunes, Golden Gate Park is an urban oasis, roughly half a mile wide and four miles long, with windmills, bison, museums, lakes and a carousel hidden among its charms. At 1,017 acres, it is 174 acres larger than New York's Central Park, so unless you have a bike, you'll want to plan which area you want to visit, especially along the east (Stanyan Street) to west (the Ocean) axis. A free shuttle bus circulates through the eastern half of the park. JFK Promenade between Transverse and Kezar is closed to vehicular traffic; this car-free zone is popular with walkers, cyclists, and runners. The number 5 trolleybus runs along the park's north boundary (Fulton Street), and offers the most frequent service across the park and to downtown. The N streetcar runs two blocks south of the park's southern boundary, with service similar to the 5 bus. Free. (updated Aug 2023)

5 AIDS Memorial Grove, at the intersection of Bowling Green and Middle Drive East, ☏ +1-415-765-0497. A national memorial to AIDS victims. Free. 6 Beach Chalet and Park Chalet, 1000

體驗活動

1 Ocean Beach, along Great Highway between Point Lobos Avenue and Sloat Boulevard. A good place to walk, surf (or watch surfers), or just look at the ocean. If you're expecting a warm California beach like you saw on Baywatch, you'll be in for a surprise. The water will be chilly all year round. You won't be able to stay in the water long without a wetsuit. But if you do brave the water, be careful of riptides: the beach has an unusual riptide which claims several lives (usually tourists) each year. If you want to ocean swim, head to China Beach. Bonfires often line Ocean Beach on warmer days. Permits are legally required for bonfires (so be forewarned), but often spur of the moment bonfires happen on weekends. Local grocery stores usually sell cords of wood for this very purpose. Please remember to clean up after yourself, and don't leave any broken glass on the beach! Sunset Dunes. New linear park along Ocean Beach just south of Golden Gate Park where you can bike or walk a few miles without interacting with cars. (updated Mar 2026) 2 China Beach, at the end of Sea Cliff Avenue just off El Camino del Mar. A small, secluded beach at the bottom of a steep slope, with beautiful vi
