Alamo Square

Park hours are 5 a.m. to midnight. Restrooms are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in spring and summer and 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in fall and winter.

There is no park lot. Street parking is scarce and tour activity affects loading; use Muni, walking, cycling, or rideshare when possible.

Use Steiner Street for the classic Painted Ladies view. The accessible entrance is at the southeast corner at Hayes and Scott Streets.

Accessible public restrooms use seasonal hours: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. spring/summer and 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. fall/winter.

Park, overlook, playground, dog area, lawn, and general recreation are free. Permits, reservations, tours, parking, and nearby food may cost.

The designated accessible entrance is at Hayes and Scott. The park is a hilltop, so routes from other corners can involve significant grades.

A designated off-leash dog play area is provided. Dogs must be leashed elsewhere and controlled around playgrounds, lawns, picnics, and crowds.

The dual-level accessible playground, lawns, picnic space, and short walking loop make a good neighborhood stop; hills and surrounding streets require supervision.

Muni buses serve the surrounding Western Addition and Hayes Valley streets. Transit avoids limited curb parking.

The famous view attracts tours and crowds. Protect valuables, respect residential stoops, check restroom hours, and bring layers for exposed hilltop wind.

Check San Francisco's neighborhood forecast, wind, fog, rain, heat, air quality, tides or surf where relevant, and daylight. Coastal conditions can differ sharply from downtown.
