Alamo Square

Alamo Square Park is an essential stop in San Francisco for this stunning postcard view of the Painted Ladies, one of the most photographed locations in San Francisco.

Given the right conditions and the right amount of wine , a party on a Sunday will make everyone say, 'Who needs Dolores?' Until summer comes, and then it's never warm in Alamo Square, like ever. Read more

Neighborhood and park up-top a hill providing great views of the city . Checkout the Victorian homes that surround the park . Great spot if your a dog lover.

Check out the East half of the park for a great view of the Painted Ladies/downtown & the West half for a beautiful sunset ! Then go back to the other side for a beautiful view of downtown at night!

You really can't beat the views of the city . Famous for the iconic opening shots in Full House, the park is perfect for hanging with friends and soaking up some sun. It's a dog lover's paradise.

After seeing the Harvey milk plaza , head down (up) to almo square. You can relax, eat and look at the beautiful ladies but also look at the view !

We get it, you want the Full House picture. Keep in mind the locals have probably had to take that pic 43 times before.. Be quick about it :) Before you cop a squat on the grass, check for dog poo.

This is a great part for two reasons. First off, it is very dog friendly with an off leash area (not fenced in though). Secondly, it has some of the best SF skyline views that you can find.

Hide your stuff hide your stuff! Car break ins are common place.Day.Night morning.yep nice park and houses.Save yourself the admission (price of a broken window and your valuables) and look elsewhere

This spot was under construction when I was there, but I'm sure it will be sweet when completed. I wanted to have a picnic ????.

The most dramatic view of the city combined with the iconic painted ladies and a joyful vibe define this park .

This is a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon with friends and wine . The southeast corner of the park has the best view and grass for lounging .

Grab a sandwich at BiRite on Divis and walk over to the park for a gorgeous view of the city . It's a gem hidden away.

LOVE this park , Lafayette Park is better for evenings but the view from Alamo is second to none

Has the famous painted ladies + a good view of the city .

Every 1st and 3rd Thursdays and Saturdays of every month at 11am there's a free 90 minute neighborhood walking tour led by experienced volunteer docents of San Francisco City Guides. Fun AND Free! Read more

Totaly must see in San Francisco. Best square in the city , beautiful famous view on financial district.

Super great view , nice to go for a picnic with a couple. You can bring your dog, but a little unsafe if it's not attached

We’ve told you a million times now, but we still can’t help singing the praises of the Painted Ladies (aka the Full House houses ). Read more

Currently has restoration work going on with most of the park out of bounds. Still worth a visit for the view

Where you can relax and enjoy a picnic without the crowd of other parks .

Great view of the city and the Painted Ladies, but the whole park is currently under construction and is nothing but fenced off dirt. ????

Hello Alamo Sq :) Green Pawz is SF's newest eco-friendly pet store offering self service and full service grooming . http://www.yelp.com/biz/green-pawz-pet-boutique-and-grooming-san-francisco

The best view of the city , and the perfect place for a weekend picnic or an evening meditation .

When it starts to get windy, head up to the western facing part of the park . Sun will keep you warm and happy.

Classic. Its a tourist spot. But as a Native, I still frequent. The views are amazing.

When the tourists ask you to snap their photo, make sure to tell them that Bob Saget lives in the Painted Lady on the left. Keep a straight face.

Walk up the hill in the park across the street for the best angle of both the houses and the skyline.

Nice place to hang out, great view of the city on a sunny day.

You can see the top of the Golden Gate Bridge on a clear day looking NW from the circular path at the center of the park .

Pop a beer , let your dog off the leash , play catch and enjoy the sunlight (while it lasts).

Bring lunch and your camera to get the best view of the city by the bay - at Alamo Square Park .

I got married here, but it's also a good place for your dog to take a crap.

The legendary shoe garden that was located around the restrooms has been permanently removed by the city of San Francisco because the shoes were non-biodegradable and hazardous to the environment :(

One of the best parks in town .. It has the painted ladies.. Beautiful view as well

Good place to read a book . Get a sunbath and enjoy the view of SF and painted ladies. Favorite spot!

Get a blanket and chill here looking at the painted ladies and the downtown.

Scenic view of the painted ladies and a perfect place for a picnic and some drinks

Currently closed for maintenance / restoration... bummer because it looks beautiful.

On a sunny summer day this is a great place to learn about the dragon flies & the bees

Cute square, perfect at sunset !

What a gorgeous place. Locals are so lucky to live near this!

Walk to the top of the hill in the park for a great view & picture of the Painted Ladies!

Painted ladies and breathtaking view of Russian Hill / Downtown from the east side. Another beautiful view and dog park of the west - more fog though.

Grab a cup of Joe at the mill and enjoy whilst sitting on the grass taking it all in... Bring layers

My favorite spot in the city . It's like a hiding trail if you start climbing from Hayes Valley.

Good spot for people watching . Sit at the top of the hill and watch everyone gawk at the painted ladies.

Beautiful views and great dog play area . Enough space and friendly dogs and people.

windbreakers were designed for this park which is 1.5x windier than places which are not this park

A good hangout spot in the park . The painted ladies are amazing! Great place for views over San Francisco.
