A small open space in the Marina District/North Beach, Joseph Conrad Square provides benches to rest and relax after exploring North Beach and the Marina. It's right in the middle of the Columbus, Beach and Leavenworth intersection. There are trees to enjoy and after you're done taking a break, you can head over to Aquatic Park of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area!
Joseph Conrad Square is owned by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.

The park was named in 1979 after Joseph Conrad, a British novelist of Polish birth (given name: Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski). Conrad's novella, 'Heart of Darkness,' inspired the Francis Ford Coppola movie 'Apocalypse Now.'
