    Absolutely amazing views of SF. I would say better than Corona Heights, Twin Peaks, Mount Davidson, and even Sutro Heights.

    One of the hidden gems in San Francisco, good thing it is not very popular tourist destination. However the views from here are spectacular. It is little bit of steep climb to reach the Tank hill, but it is really worth it. When we visited there were few people on the top of the hill, not very crowded. Street parking is available, just follow the parking signs.

    Tank Hill is an incredible tiny hidden park in San Francisco. It has the best views of the entire city without all the crowds, and is the best park in the city in my opinion. Well worth visiting, but keep it a secret to keep it unpopular, unlike twin peaks.

    This is a hidden gem. Almost to the point that I don't want to say too much about it. We ventured up the hill to catch a sunset, and although the fog didn't reveal the sun, it was still a magical experience. There is a large green bench on top. It was perfect.

    Nice ~210-degree views, but VERY windy. Only one bench. Some rocks you can sit on. Street parking.

    One of the best views in San Francisco. From here you can see the ocean, most of golden gate park, the Golden Gate Bridge, Buena vista park, downtown, east bay, mount Diablo, noe valley, Castro, mission, mission bay, and even down into the South Bay. Ideal for sunrise views! Lots of parking if you park on the top part of the park!

    Nice short hike in the middle of San Francisco with a stunning view of the city at the top. It was not crowded but very windy so bring layers! The access is fairly straight forward, you can’t miss it. There is a bench but facing East, probably better for sunrise.

    Spectacular view of ocean, Golden Gate Bridge, and downtown. It’s about 40 minutes walking from Golden Gate Park (8th Ave entrance from Fulton street. It has less tourists and much quieter than twin peaks. But offers almost same views. Of course, you can go to twin peaks from here. Just take about another 20 minutes.

    Beautiful views but very windy the closer you get towards Sutro Tower.

  • 5/5 Paddy O. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous views. Particularly windy the day we went up, might be a tad to cold to have a picnic, unless the weather permits. Definitely a little bit of a workout getting there if you're walking!

  • 5/5 Jim B. 5 months ago on Google
    Hard to beat in terms of panoramic view of the city that isn't overly crowded like some other SF city hills. Only downside is that the wooden stairs leading up from Twin Peaks Blvd. are a bit rickety and some steps are rotting to the point where you need to be very careful, especially on the way down. Stairs on the north side leading to Belgrave Ave. are in much better shape. On a sunny day the view is pretty amazing, especially of the Golden Gate bridge, Marin headlands, downtown SF skyline, and the SF Bay and Port of Oakland.

  • 5/5 Thomas Joseph P. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the great spots in San Francisco for panoramic views of the city. This one isn’t as popular other spots but the views are fantastic.

  • 4/5 Susan J. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing views. Not bad street parking and only one set of stairs to climb.

  • 5/5 Kraig B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great stop as you climb Twin Peaks. Curbside parking and then up one short flight of stairs. There is an amazing view. This park is a gem. Please treat it carefully. My wife and I threw the dice, we selected a day and were married here. . Unfortunately we had a heatwave a few days before. That always draws in the Marine layer. Enjoy the views!

    The best unobstructed bridge-to-bridge views in the City...the Golden Gate is visible (unlike Corona Heights), there are no trees blocking downtown (unlike Buena Vista) and you can see the Bay Bridge (unlike Alamo Square). Best in class!!!

  • 5/5 Barbara L. 2 years ago on Google
    The views of San Francisco from this location are fantastic. We started out on top of Twin Peaks which was super windy and the view obscured by clouds. We walked down the curvy road to Tank Hill and we able to see much more minus the strong wind.

  • 5/5 Leo G. 1 year ago on Google
    Tank Hill has an amazing view. You can see entire San Francisco. It’s pretty hidden so you won’t find many people on there. I really like going there.
