GOLDEN GATE PARK
AND LAND'S END
Lying to the south of the Richmond District is
the spectacular Golden Gate Park, a master-
piece of landscape gardening, created in the
1890s out of a sandy wasteland. Little grows
here by chance, and trees have been planted
where they will best deflect the prevailing
winds. All shrubs and bushes are carefully
chosen to ensure there is color at every
season. Among the many attractions
of the park are meandering paths, sports
facilities ranging from archery to golf, and
three major museums. More parklands lie
to the north and west of the Richmond
District, linked by the Coastal Trail. This is
where rugged Land's End, the scene of so
many shipwrecks, meets the sea. Nearby
Lincoln Park, with its manicured golf course,
makes a dramatic contrast.
