Transamerica Redwood Park

Hidden away at the base of the iconic Transamerica Pyramid, this tranquil space brings an oasis from the Santa Cruz Mountains to the heart of San Francisco's Financial District. When the pyramid was constructed in 1972, architect William Pereira allocated a half-acre at the base for a public park. The park was designed by Tom Galli with mature Redwood trees and it is beautifully manicured with concrete pathways meticulously intertwined with ferns, flowering plants and other shrubs native to Northern California. Only open Monday through Friday, the park is a hidden gem in the bustling metropolis and a favorite spot of local office workers on their lunch break.
