The space
In the heart of San Francisco, there is a historical landmark neighborhood called St. Mary’s Park. This park offers lawns, a basketball court, picnic area, a large playground and a recreation center with programs for all ages. It is minutes from Dolores Park, Valencia Street, the Mission District, AT&T Park (home of the San Francisco Giants Baseball Team) and the Castro Neighborhood. Also nearby are famous and iconic San Francisco visiting spots such as Fisherman’s Wharf, Coit Tower in North Beach, San Francisco Zoo and many shopping options. There are many multi-cultural restaurants on Mission and Valencia Streets, as well as many bars and live entertainment all around the area. If an ocean view is your desire there is the Cliff House or Beach Chalet at Ocean Beach. Of course there is also the Embarcadero, Ghirardelli Square and Fisherman’s Wharf to see the Bay.
