Dutch Windmill, Historical windmill in Golden Gate Park, United States.

The Dutch Windmill is a tall cylindrical tower of brown and grey brick on the western edge of Golden Gate Park, capped by a domed roof of greenish scale-like panels. Four wooden lattice sails radiate from a hub near the top, and a smaller many-bladed metal wheel sits on a wooden frame on the upper right. The tower has small rectangular openings and flares into a wider base carried on four angled brick legs, with a circular balcony and wooden railing ringing the tower above them.

The structure was built in the early 1900s to pump water for park irrigation. It represents a period when wind power played an important role in developing and maintaining this large urban park.

The tulip garden beside the mill is named for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands; the windmill itself is not. Tulips are planted each spring, from February to April, in beds in front of and along the base of the tower. A Kings Day celebration is held next to the mill on April 27.

The site sits on the western side of the park where Kennedy Drive meets the Great Highway. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the area is exposed with little shade, especially in sunny conditions.

The mill's four wooden lattice sails and a smaller many-bladed metal wheel on a wooden frame are visible on the tower. The brick tower flares into a wider base on four angled brick legs, with a circular balcony and wooden railing above them.
