If you're downtown, go down the Embarcadero to Rincon Park! This landmark has nice groomed patches of grass along its promenade and there is a large sculpture of a Bow and Arrow known as "Cupid's Span"; in addition, the view of the Bay Bridge is unforgettable and worthy of a photo!
Rincon Park is owned by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.
