Panhandle, Municipal park between Haight-Ashbury and Western Addition, San Francisco, US.
The Panhandle extends three-quarters of a mile with parallel paved paths, basketball courts, and an outdoor exercise area between Fell and Oak Streets.
The park began in 1870 as an experimental ground for stabilizing sand dunes through strategic planting of barley, sea bent grass, and yellow lupin.
Local citizens successfully prevented the construction of a freeway through the park in 1966, leading to the creation of designated bicycle routes instead.
The park operates from 6 AM to 10 PM daily, offering public restrooms, water fountains, and multiple basketball courts for visitors throughout the year.
The trees in this park rank among San Francisco's oldest specimens, as each was planted as part of a botanical test for Golden Gate Park's development.
