Alamo Square Park consists of six city blocks at the top of a hill overlooking much of San Francisco. The park includes a playground and a tennis court, and is frequented by neighbors, tourists, and dog owners. A row of Victorian houses facing the park on Steiner Street, known as the painted ladies, are often shown in the foreground of panoramic pictures of the city's downtown area. You know the ones. On a clear day, the Transamerica Pyramid building and the tops of the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Bridge can be seen from the park

Sadly, the best way to describe this historic landmark is to say it's the park where the "Full House" family has their picnic in the intro of the show (one of La's favorite childhood shows).

Hailed as one of the most photographed nooks in all of San Francisco, this park is located on the slopes of one of the city's infamous hillsides, affording picturesque views of the downtown area--including the iconic TransAmerica Building on clear days. In the foreground of your view will be the row of "Painted Ladies," six brightly colored and beautifully well-kept Queen Anne houses, instantly recognizable to anyone who's seen the opening credits to the hit-but-defunct sitcom Full House. Swing by for a quick snapshot, or stick around to enjoy what is one of San Francisco's very fine parks, a quiet retreat from the bustling city all around you.
