Visiting San Francisco for the First Time? Here's What to See and Do
Here’s what you need to know to make the most of a single day in San Francisco.
Located in the Castro district, Seward Mini Park is a tiny green space that most locals don’t even know about, let alone visitors. You won’t find the slides on city tours, but you can check them out on a guided urban hiking tour. Otherwise, go on your own during a day of exploring San Francisco’s hilly southern neighborhoods.
The Seward Street Slides are located in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood at Seward and Douglas streets.
Seward Mini Park is a 1-mile walk or a 2-mile drive from Twin Peaks, one of San Francisco’s most popular viewpoints. As the city’s second-highest location at 922 feet in elevation, Twin Peaks offers panoramic photo ops of the city and San Francisco Bay. Be prepared for strong winds.
