A tree-canopied corridor into Golden Gate Park, lined with walking paths, wide lawns, and community basketball courts.
Description
Stretching from Stanyan Street to Baker Street, this park strip forms an active transportation corridor connecting Haight-Ashbury and the Western Addition to Golden Gate Park. Broad biking and walking trails run the length of the grounds beneath a canopy of mature eucalyptus, cypress, and pine trees, alongside open lawns, restrooms, and a playground extensively renovated in 2019. Its basketball court was overhauled in 2016 through a community foundation partnership and named for Golden State Warriors great Nate Thurmond.
