Golden Gate Park: East End,
Creating San Francisco’s Great Urban Park

Neighborhood: Golden Gate Park

Home > Find Your Tour > Golden Gate Park: East End,
Creating San Francisco’s Great Urban Park

Description

The East End of Golden Gate Park is home to sites both beautiful and historically significant — including the Conservatory of Flowers, the Garden of Shakespeare’s Flowers, the Music Concourse, the AIDS Memorial Grove, and the Children’s Playground.

Walk with us to learn about the individuals who turned the “Outside Lands” of sand dunes and scrub into one of the world’s premier urban parks. Whether you are a longtime resident or a first time visitor, this tour will reveal a park history that continues to give new generations a place of culture, recreation, reflection, and rejuvenation.
