STOW
LAKE One of the few places in town where people could (and still can) rent a row boat and paddle about while enjoying the park and feeding the ducks. Stow Lake encircles "Strawberry Hill" and two bridges (including this "Old Bridge") let pedestrians access the trails on the hill. |

SWEENEY
OBSERVATORY A building high atop Strawberry Hill that used to provide an excellent vantage point to view the entire San Francisco area. The building was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, and nothing remains there currently except for a bit of hidden foundation. |

THE
MUSIC STAND Out in front of the DeYoung Museum, this structure used to have regular concerts attended by thousands, and there is still an occasional concert put on today. This building replaced a previous one that was located where the tennis courts are today. |
