SF Labyrinths

I'll leave it to the experts to describe what a labyrinth is but all I can say is, I never refuse a labyrinth when I see one. There are some famous ones in San Francisco, and there are some that I just happened to bump into during walks with my kids and my dog.


Searching for labyrinths is a great kid-friendly activity. They're all over the place as you can see in this Worldwide Labyrinth Locator.


The Famous Ones:

4. Scott Street Labyrinth in Duboce Park (next to the Harvey Milk Center)
5. University of San Francisco Harney Plaza (Parker and Golden Gate Avenues)
6. California Pacific Medical Center's Labyrinth Garden (at Sacramento and Cherry)


Hidden Gems:

1. Bernal Heights Park, Bernal Heights Boulevard (at the southern entrance to the park)

2. McLaren Park, 266 John Shelley Drive (about 100 feet up a dirt path from the road, on top of a small hill)

3. Potrero del Sol Park, San Bruno Avenue entrance (in the southern part of the park, a painted labyrinth, but a great way to pass the time while waiting for your skateboarder)

Far, Far Away (just for fun):
