Relax and Recharge at Levi's Plaza Park in San Francisco

Levi's Plaza Park is one of those small green spaces in San Francisco that is often overlooked, partially because it is hidden behind a row of trees on one side and buildings on the other.

Levi's Plaza Park, designed by renowned landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, opened in 1979 as part of Levi Strauss & Co.'s headquarters near the Embarcadero in San Francisco.
