Now: The one-block wide strip of greenery that forms a welcome-mat to the east entrance of Golden Gate Park is a pleasant refuge for bicyclists, residents, and people walking from Haight Street. On the north side of Fulton, the USF Lone Mountain campus rises from the city's mid-northern center and offers splendid views.

Then: The cultivation and planting of trees for the Panhandle, in 1870, preceded the development of the rest of Golden Gate Park, and served more or less as a "trial run". Lone Mountain was a cemetary, until the 1930s.

How To Get There: Walk up one block from Haight Street to the Panhandle, or a few blocks west from Alamo Square or Hayes Valley. For driving, parking is usually possible along Oak Street, on the south edge of the Panhandle.
