Planning a trip to San Francisco? Learn about the Yerba Buena Gardens, one of the city's nicest parks, in this travel video.
San Franciscans love their parks, and Yerba Buena Gardens is a local favorite. This park covers two city blocks with open space and carefully tended gardens. It’s an escape from the city within the city and it’s also a good destination for those travelling with children.
The park has many kid-friendly amenities, including a vintage carousel, an ice-skating rink, and the Children’s Creativity Museum.
The gardens are also a place to experience local arts. Public art can be found throughout the park. The most notable piece of artwork is the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Fountain. This awe-inspiring monument is made up of shining slabs of glass with excerpts from Dr. King’s speeches inscribed upon them, water flowing over the words.
Yerba Buena Gardens doesn’t limit itself to public art. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, located right in the park, welcomes all kinds of contemporary artists.
The fine arts are well represented in the Center’s museum, while musicians and dancers take the stage. Independent films of all genres are also given screenings here.
Many of San Francisco’s best museums are also in the vicinity of the park. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Cartoon Art Museum, the Contemporary Jewish Museum and the Museum of the African Diaspora are all minutes away.
The Yerba Buena Gardens’ location and amenities make it a cultural oasis in the middle of the city.

San Francisco: Yerba Buena Gardens
Yerba Buena Gardens is the name for two blocks of public parks located between Third and Fourth, Mission and Folsom Streets in downtown San Francisco. The area includes the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
Yerba Buena was the name of the town in the Mexican territory of Alta California that became the city of San Francisco, California, after it was claimed by the United States in 1846.
In 1999 the Yerba Buena Gardens received the Gold Medal of the biannual Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence. In praising the design of the work, the jury noted the process that led to the creation of the gardens, as well as its inclusiveness in terms of the population it serves and its neighborhood.
The original block opened in 1993 contains several public art installations. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is located behind a waterfall, which is the largest fountain on the West Coast. The King memorial consists of large, etched glass excerpts of King's speeches in the languages of San Francisco's sister cities, and also includes a large green space where performance arts events are held throughout the year. The entire memorial was a collaborative project between Sculptor Houston Conwill, Poet Estella Majoza and Architect Joseph De Pace.
Located in the Gardens proper are the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, a contemporary arts center in the North block, and the Children's Creativity Museum (Zeum), a children's media and technology museum in the South block. An ice skating rink, a bowling alley, and a restored 1905 carousel originally located at Playland-at-the-Beach can also be found in the South block. Eateries within the gardens include the B Restaurant and Grill and the Samovar Tea Lounge on the North block's terrace, Mo's Grill on the South block's upper walkway, and a snack shop by the carousel.
Nearby museums include: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Museum of the African Diaspora, Children's Creativity Museum (Zeum), and formerly the Cartoon Art Museum. Other exhibiting institutions nearby include SF Planning and Urban Research Association and California Historical Society.
The Mexican Museum is (as of 2015) planned to be built across Mission Street as part the 53-story Yerba Buena tower, which will consist mostly of luxury condominiums. The project is planned to cost $500 million ($30 million of which for the museum) and will complete the Yerba Buena district redevelopment area, which apart from the Yerba Buena Gardens includes the Metreon and Moscone Center.
Located within two blocks of Yerba Buena Gardens are many hotels, museums, and retail centers. The St. Regis Museum Tower, W Hotel San Francisco, San Francisco Marriott, Four Seasons, and InterContinental Hotel San Francisco are some of the largest hotels in the area. Retail in the area include the Metreon bordering the North block, and the Westfield San Francisco Centre one block away in the old Emporium building, featuring San Francisco's first Bloomingdale's.

Yerba Buena Gardens is the name for two blocks of public parks located between Third and Fourth, Mission and Folsom Streets in downtown San Francisco, California. The first block bordered by Mission and Howard Streets was opened on October 11, 1993. The second block, between Howard and Folsom Streets was opened in 1998, with a dedication to Martin Luther King, Jr. by Mayor Willie Brown. A pedestrian bridge over Howard Street connects the two blocks, sitting on top of part of the Moscone Center convention center. The Yerba Buena Gardens are owned by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and were planned and built as the final centerpiece of the Yerba Buena Redevelopment Area which includes the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
