Intimately tiny, not even 200 sq ft at the peak, but it has 2 square benches and a really great view! The stairway has a couple of small seating benches on the way up, but the stairs themselves are becoming deteriorated, so for now, use caution. Nestled btwn mansions, it's a cozy, possibly private little place for contemplating, usually, due to its hard to find location. Approach the entrance off of Francisco St. but not via Grant directly, as it is STEEP, but rather by the alleyways just before Grant on Francisco (heading eastward)

  • Brian Lum

I sat here all morning long and only witnessed three other couples come up here in three hours time. I journaled all morning alone with SOME OF San Francisco's finestest views beholding. I sat on a bench that was located at the look out platform. Which iS located at the top of the staircase. Wow what a private secluded secret spot for individual soul searching or romantic dejavous. THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL SAN FRANCISCO.

  • Evamarie Pacaba

My son and I were just walking around, intentionally getting lost in the city, when we happened upon this staircase that seemed to lead nowhere. But there was a small marker that said Jack Early Park and so we decided to try and find out what it was about. And we’re happy we did! Great view! But nothing is truly free. Lol! You need to put some effort climbing up the stairs!

  • Steven Agid

Its not much bigger than a parking space, but it is one of the best free views in the city. You can see both bridges, Alcatraz island and there is a bench to sit down while you enjoy the scenery. Great photo opt. Ms. Westcott obviously missed the point !

  • Maryann Hrichak

It’s easy to miss this little gem of a park if you’re not paying attention!! Climb some stairs from the street for most amazing views of the Bay, Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge & so much more. A very quaint, quiet spot. Shhhhh... don’t tell the neighbors!

  • Charles Winfield

Nice, no-alcohol city park that's not much larger than a parklet. 64 steps to the terrace at top that serves as a panoramic vista point of the bay waters from Bay Bridge to Golden Gate Bridge. Open at dawn, closes at dusk.

  • Bruce Hamilton

I don't think something this tiny can be 5*, but it's a nice little platform with a view. When tourists are in town it could get semi crowded. And it feels crowded when there's only a handful of people there as is.

  • Steven ross

Great Views. Tucked Away Just North Of Chestnut St. On Grant Ave. North Beach ,Telegraph Hill Area. Close to Fisherman's Wharf. Take the Lone stairway up. Enjoy The View! …

  • Lisa Au

Stairs leading up to a quiet spot overlooking Alcatraz and the bay. Part of the view is covered by trees but worth taking the time to stop by if you’re nearby.

  • Alexander Helmer

Cute views. There are some stairs. It's a little tucked in back there I wouldn't recommend going at night, definitely some shady stuff happening off the path.

  • Ron Hudson

Had to roll thru that area to drop off a meal that someone failed to do earlier. Had some people milling around, appeared relaxed as I rode my bike thru there

  • James Neace

Amazing little two-person park. Romantic, cozy, and stunning views of both bridges. Also, probably the best vantage point to get a snap of Alcatraz.

  • A M G

If some trees were trimmed to make the view better, it would be better. That way, people will not have to stand on the bench to get the best view.

  • Logan Udengaard (IntrovertedPaul)

This is an amazing little park with an amazing view of the bay. There are a lot of stairs up to this park, but the view makes up for that.

  • Lady App

Quaint, clean and cozy. Beautiful views of the bay and partials of both Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Alcatraz and Marina can also be seen.

  • Nazz Wangsen

Great view Amanda tranquil but the tree was in the way for the view to be spectacular. Rec and park please trim back the tree tops.

  • Lee Trampleasure

You may miss this park from the street, but don't. You walk up a few stairs then come out on a platform with incredible views.

  • Christian Naumann

Love this place because people easily miss it. So it's good place for a short rest with an unexpected view over the North bay.

  • Ben Mettler

Please Goddess, clean up this space! With so much wealth in the neighborhood, pull it out and recover this roughened diamond.

  • John Connor

A charming little hideaway with spectacular view. But yes the stairs a bit steep - like everything else in that part of SF.

  • Henry

The park's entrance is on Grant Street between Chestnut and Francisco Streets - you'll see a plaque marking its entrance

  • JUAN CARLOS CISNEROS

Más que un parque es un camino de escaleras que atraviesa un jardín..., pero esta bonito..., no hay mucho que ver....

  • Naomi Hansen

Not a park! It's a tiny viewpoint where you can see Alcatraz and a little of the bay bridge. Closes at night.

  • Am

Nice view but partially blocked, fairly middling view by San Francisco standards which makes it still nice.

  • 田伟

This is NOT a park. It is approx 50 steps to a very very small lookout point.

Hidden little spot with space for two, maybe three? Nice little views of SF.

The gate was locked at 10 am in the morning. Has the park been closed?
