Transamerica Redwood Park — Attraction in San Francisco

I didn't know after sitting down and relaxing on a bench only feet away from a nicely done fountain arrangement that featured what looked to be 'Frog and Toad' from the popular children's books of the same name.

Truthfully I didn't know I was at a park until reading it on Google when it asked if I wanted to review it.

I looked it up and realized oh yeah that place with the fountain across from the bench Under the Pyramid Tower was actually a park and not just a place with a fountain across from a bench.

I thought about it more I realized;

"Oh yes! Of course it was a park!"

I forgot it contained a large number of homeless vagrants sprawled across the concrete that I had to walk on and over to get to my bench and enjoy the sandwich I had waiting for me to bite into the moment I took seat. Almost without thinking I am able to do this when thinking about it and instead of it scaring me I'm feeling a little proud of my new ability and am going to pause to reach around and behind my head to pat myself of the back.

'Pat-pat'... (sigh of relief)

The picture of that day became clearer helping me to remember all the corners and crevices filled with street-urchains everywhere!

If are a 'homeless-Urchin-of-the-street' you better get there early before all the good slabs of concrete are taken up.

The View looking up is what brought me to review this and why I give three stars to the joint instead of...

Visited this beautiful mini park at the base of the iconic Transamerica pyramid, while on a nearby escapade. With renovations completed in 2024, they revived the space and added art that blends in nicely with the majestic redwood trees.

It is a mixture of elements that provoke the senses with whimsical detail and just a nice place to stop by during an adventure into the interconnected areas of FiDi, North Beach, Chinatown and the Embarcadero. I saw some people enjoying dim sum at one of the benches, some taking photos, admiring the architecture, and playing table tennis. Looks like there are events sometimes and a few cool new interactions like art...

This is such a hidden treasure in our city! I recently attended one of the concerts that they are now holding on Sundays and Thursdays. It was really lovely to be in such a wonderful, creative, beautiful space in nature and listen to music. There is a nice bar for those of you who drink. I also appreciate the security at every gate. Thank you for providing this for the neighborhood!

My only suggestion, if anybody in power is reading this, is to move the ping-pong table back by the bar. It was very obstructive while trying to listen to the beautiful music. A minor adjustment that would make a...
