Sunday Streets is free to all participants. Some will enjoy the route by strolling, skating, cycling, or just people-watching. Others will participate in free group events such as tai chi, yoga, aerobics and other activities.

Pacheco Grand Steps

This is of course on Pacheco Street (at Magellan Avenue) in the affluent neighborhood of Forest Hill designed by Mark Daniels.

On Saturday, I went on another urban hike. This time we met by the West Portal Muni station. We will walk through the wonderful Forest Hill neighborhood over many stairways including the giant Pacheco Grand Staircase. We eat lunch at the Amphitheatre at Golden Gate Park. Then we walk south and up the Mosaic Stairway. This is a sight to rememeber and the only mosaic steps in the City, decorated by over 300 neighbors! An ordinary American neighborhood got together and did something world spectacular! Maybe every community can together do something like this. After these steps, we climb more steps to the top of Grand View Park, elevation 666’, to see incredible views. This really is the GRAND VIEW of the city! Then we walk South again taking a different route back through Forest Hill to our starting point. Some pictures that you’ll expect to see: Pacheco Grand Steps Neighborhood and gardens of Forest Hill Sutro Tower J.P. Murphy Playground Library of Horiculture inside Golden Gate Park Mosaic Stairway Grand View Park
