Golden Gate Park, Urban park in San Francisco, United States.
Golden Gate Park extends over 1,017 acres with lakes, meadows, gardens, and recreational areas between Ocean Beach and Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
The park development started in 1870 on sand dunes, requiring the planting of 60,000 trees including eucalyptus to stabilize the ground.
The California Academy of Sciences contains a natural history museum, aquariums, and a planetarium under one roof in an environmentally advanced building.
A free shuttle runs through the park on weekends and holidays from 10 AM to 8 PM, connecting multiple recreational facilities and gardens.
The park maintains a dedicated paddock where a herd of American bison lives, continuing a tradition that began in the 1890s.
