The Panhandle in San Francisco, CA

“Iu2019ve often seen the quirky little Panhandle through the window of a car, but last week, I had the privilege of seeing it on foot and up-close. It was a pleasant experience.

“It's a decent park, it's always good to have parks around, but it's completely overshadowed by golden gate park in my opinion. Plus, there's no views of anything since it's a flat trail.”

“Really nice walking/cycling/running path. There are always plenty of people out and about. The path connects directly to closed JFK avenue which makes a really nice long running path. There is a playground and restroom in the middle as well. There are also basketball courts hand many benches so that you can sit down and rest.”

“I was hoping to go to Golden Gate Park, but it was exactly three miles from the hotel, so the panhandle was all I got to see. It was pretty cool. Big ol trees, a million joggers, bicycles that do not g.a.f. A great walk.”
