San Francisco's Salesforce Park

How can I get to Salesforce Park?

Because it's conveniently located atop Salesforce Transit Center, Salesforce Park is easy to get to, especially if you're taking public transportation to and around the city. While parking garages and street parking are available, we highly recommend using public transportation.

• If you're taking BART into the city, you can exit at either the Embarcadero station or Montgomery Street station, both of which are just one block north of the park.
• Various Muni bus lines also make stops inside the Salesforce Transit Center. These include: 5 Fulton, 5R Fulton Rapid, 7 Haight/Noriega, 12 Folsom/Pacific, 14 Mission, 14R Mission Rapid, 25 Treasure Island, 38 Geary, and 38R Geary Rapid.
• You can also take all Muni light rail lines (J, K, L, M, N, or T) to the Embarcadero or Montgomery Street stations, which are just one block north of the park.

The Gondola

This might not be your normal mode of transportation to a rooftop park, but it sure offers a much more scenic ride than the average elevator or escalator. This one-way gondola ride that takes you from ground level to the park operates 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (May 1 to October 31) and 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (November 1 to April 30). It's also free of charge!

Walking Trail

The perimeter of the park is a walking trail that spans half a mile. Along the trail are 13 small botanical gardens with flora and fauna representing different regions of the world.

Children’s Play Area

Located between the central lawn and the main plaza is a children's play area, featuring a climbing rope frame on a spongy protective flooring. After romping and frolicking in the play structure, children are free to borrow a book from the Children's Reading Room for impromptu story time, or grab a board game from the game cart.

Public Art

A fun feature of the park is the bus fountain. It was specifically created to correspond with the comings and goings of the buses within the terminal below. Built with more than 1,200 feet of white and gray granite, this contemporary design is one of the world’s longest water artworks.

Gardens and Green Spaces

The main plaza of Salesforce Park features an oculus surrounded by a bamboo grove. This open space is a perfect place for people to come and play. There is also a walkable glass floor that is the largest of its kind in the U.S.

Barebottle Brewing Company

Craving a break above the bustle? Grab a pint at Barebottle Brewing Company's beer garden. Sip 20 craft brews on tap or a biodynamic California wine, paired with empanadas and Bavarian pretzels—all with skyline views. Open daily, 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Salesforce Park hosts nearly 20 free events every week, all 70 feet above downtown. Fitness fans can join free Zumba, yoga, bootcamp, and HIIT classes led by Fitness SF. Families enjoy toddler music sessions, storytelling, and craft activities at the Kid's Play Area. Music lovers catch rooftop jazz, drum circles, and evening concerts at the Amphitheater. There's even knitting meetups and writing workshops — something for every visitor, every day.
