Justin Herman Plaza is a very popular place for working people to eat their lunch.
A well groomed grassy area off Steuart St is perfect for a picnic in the park with your loved ones or take your dog for a walk.
The palm trees surrounding the space and the fact that it's right on the waterfront makes this place very special. It is close to everything: the Ferry Building, The Embarcadero Center, and anything on Market St.
What's iconic about this spot is the Vaillancourt Fountain and its abstract design.
Justin Herman Plaza is owned by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.
