Biking in Golden Gate Park offers a unique experience with scenic routes that highlight the park's beauty. JFK Way and Overlook Way provide seven miles of enjoyable terrain, balancing ease and challenge. Starting at Stanyan and Haight Street leads to JFK Promenade, a 1.5-mile stretch closed to cars since 2020, filled with art installations, gardens, and outdoor games. This area has become popular, leading to a 2022 decision to keep it vehicle-free, enhancing the recreational experience for visitors and locals alike.
JFK Way and Overlook Way both stretch across the park at seven miles round trip, offering an effortless coast west to the ocean and a gentle but steady climb back east.
Once you cross Kezar Drive, take a deep breath and let the city noise fade away - you're officially on the JFK Promenade, a glorious 1.5-mile car-free stretch that's been blissfully vehicle-free since 2020.
Cruising along the promenade, you will pass gardens, meadows, a waterfall, and other noteworthy sites.
San Franciscans voted in 2022 to keep this road permanently closed to cars - it's too much fun to give back.
