Washington Square, Urban park in North Beach, San Francisco, US.
The 3.17-acre green space contains grass areas, benches along circular paths, and tall Lombardy poplar trees in its center.
The park, established in 1847 as one of San Francisco's first parks, served as a temporary shelter for 600 residents after the 1906 earthquake.
North Beach restaurants and cafes border the park grounds, with Saint Peter and Paul Church standing prominently at the eastern edge.
Washington Square sits at the intersection of Filbert and Stockton Streets, offering public restrooms and street parking in surrounding areas.
A statue of Benjamin Franklin with a temperance fountain at its base, donated in 1879, stands as a central monument in the park.
