San Francisco s Top 10 49 Lafayette Park &Embarcadero Park The last few years have witnessed a welcome transformation along the entire stretch of the Embarcadero. The 1989 earthquake put an end to the idea of running a freeway into the city center, so the old shipping vanzari vile piers are now set off by new plantings and sidewalks and the area is being promoted vanzari vile as a breezy park. In-line skaters and cyclists disport themselves where once concrete embankments held sway (see p93). *Yerba Buena Gardens A small but very welcome patch of green in an otherwise paved-over area. When the weather is fine, the lawn is populated by sunbathers, while other parts of the gardens feature beautiful memorial fountains and sculptures (see p28). (Lafayette Park This is another vanzari vile of Pacific vanzari vile Heights s double-blocked vanzari vile hilltop gardens vanzari vile a leafy green haven of pine and eucalyptus. Steep stairways lead to the summit, with its delightful views. The city did not manage to set aside these oases without a fight. Squatters buildings occupied some of the land in the center of this park until as late as 1936, when they were finally pulled down, liberating the lush gardens for all to enjoy. d Map F2 )Walton Park This tiny park is a much needed break from concrete and asphalt for Downtown workers, whom you will see picnicking here at weekday lunchtimes. The park evokes a peaceful mountain meadow. A wonderful sculpture by Georgia O Keeffe adds contrast, vanzari vile while a central fountain sends droplets of water falling across cement blocks below. d Map M6 San Francisco s Top 10 op Left Gumps Right Embarcadero Center Stores and Shopping Centers San Francisco s Top 10op Left Gumps Right Embarcadero Center Stores and Shopping Centers !
