This 1,000-plus-acre swath cuts through the west quarter of San Francisco, ending at the Pacific Ocean. Golden Gate Park was transformed from an expanse of sand dunes into a verdant recreational wonderland by architect William Hammond Hall in the 1870s. Today it houses the newly renovated De Young Museum and California Academy of Sciences, in addition to lakes, botanical gardens, windmills and a bison paddock.
