SUNDAY STREETS SUNSET/GOLDEN GATE PARK

JUNE 11TH, 2017 | 11:00AM – 4:00PM

The Sunday Streets Sunset/Golden Gate Park is the longest, and perhaps most scenic route, traveling through Golden Gate Park and along the Great Highway.  The Sunday Streets Sunset will take place on the Great Highway between Sloat Blvd and Lincoln Way, Lincoln Way to MLK Drive, MLK drive to Bernice Rodgers Way, Bernice Rodgers Way to JFK Dr, and JFK Dr between Bernice Rodgers Way and Transverse Dr, on Sunday, June 11th from 11am to 4 pm.

From Lindy in the Park, to the Skatin’ Place, to Ocean Beach, there is something for everyone along this route! Because this route is so long, we encourage you to bring your bike or skates. If you don’t have wheels, be sure to put on those walking shoes!
