Yerba Buena Gardens

Embrace your every mood, find green relief amid landscaped lawns, serene waterfalls and colorful gardens at the cultural heart of San Francisco.

Look Around

We love our dogs! Coming soon to the corner of Folsom and 3rd Streets – a new on-leash dog relief spot. This landscaped area is designed with turf, beautiful plants and, of course, stocked with doggie waste bags.

Look for new landscaping along 3rd, Folsom, and Howard Streets – completed by late spring, 2023.

Thank you for partnership and funding from Clean CaliforniaSFMTA, and Yerba Buena Community Benefit District.
