Golden Gate Park is basically San Francisco's backyard - except this backyard has windmills, roller discos, and no annoying neighbors. I love that you can bike from end to end without dodging Teslas and delivery robots. With so much ground to cover, choosing the right route makes all the difference. I've spent countless rides figuring out the best ways to see it all without missing a beat. So hop on your bike and let's ride - I'll show you the best paths to take.
Now in its fourth season, the family- and dog-friendly space transforms the JFK Promenade's Golden Mile into a vibrant weekend destination filled with drinks, lawn games, public art, and curated local food trucks. Located just west of the Rose Garden near 14th Avenue East Meadow, the Whale's Tail is open every Saturday and Sunday afternoon (noon to 6pm) through October 2025, plus select holiday Mondays.
