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. This is where Golden Gate Park lets loose: giant art installations, funky road murals, outdoor musical instruments, and a rotating lineup of lawn games. No wonder San Franciscans voted in 2022 to keep this road permanently closed to cars - it's too much fun to give back.

Garbo Chang, a 59-year-old San Francisco man, tragically died while attempting to rescue his dog in Ocean Beach, with the cause of death yet unreleased.

The San Francisco Fire Department advises against entering the water for rescues, emphasizing safety protocols for those witnessing someone in trouble.
