Billy Goat Hill, San Francisco, Summit and park in Diamond Heights, San Francisco, United States.
Billy Goat Hill features a network of trails leading through urban forest and grassland plant communities to a 500-foot elevation point.
The site originated as a quarry operated by Gray Brothers during the late 1800s and transformed into an official city park in 1975.
The park serves as a gathering space where residents participate in outdoor activities while appreciating views of the Bay Bridge and downtown.
Visitors can access the park from 30th Street or Beacon Street, with the Muni line 52 stopping near Walter Haas Park.
The park contains California saxifrage plants, which grow naturally in only two other locations throughout San Francisco.

San Francisco brings together historical monuments and natural sites that reflect the city's unique history and geography. The Golden Gate Bridge, a 2,737-meter-long suspension bridge completed in 1937, is one of the region's most recognizable structures. Alcatraz Island, a former high-security federal prison operating from 1934 to 1963, is located in the bay and is visited by ferry. The Painted Ladies, seven Victorian houses built between 1892 and 1896, exemplify San Francisco’s characteristic residential architecture with their colorful facades facing Alamo Square Park. The city also includes Fisherman's Wharf, a historic port district developed from late 19th-century Italian fishing piers, and the Fillmore, a performance hall from the 1910s that contributed to the development of the West Coast music scene. Twin Peaks provide viewpoints at 928 feet (283 meters), while Lands End features rocky cliffs and hiking trails at the western tip of the peninsula. The Cable Cars, a mechanical transportation system operating since 1873, run on three lines through San Francisco's sloped streets.
