Jerry Garcia Amphitheater? Well, I didn’t know there was an amphitheater dedicated to Jerry Garcia but I guess there is one!
The Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, located at 45 Shelley Drive in John McLaren Park, is one of the most spectacular performance venues in San Francisco. The Greek-style amphitheater is situated in a bucolic setting away from urban noises. With its outstanding acoustics and generous green room facilities, the theater is appropriate for all kinds of musical and dramatic performances. Groups interested in renting the facility should contact the Department’s Permits and Reservations office at (415) 831-5500.
This July 4th, I might be headed out to Tank Hill, located somewhat next to Twin Peaks. I doubt I can see Fireworks as well than being in downtown but it sure beats the traffic and parking tickets.
My new favorite high point in San Francisco is called Tank Hill, because it was once the location of a huge municipal water tank. Today it’s a protected park with a gorgeous day and night panoramic view from the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands all the way across the city and down to the East Bay. I heard about Tank Hill from a fantastic weekly newsletter called Weekend Sherpa, which reveals secret spots around the Bay Area for all kinds of outdoor activities. (Kay Merrill, a family travel planner who lives up on Larkspur, put me on to Weekend Sherpa.)
You don’t have to wait for Earth Day to do some green good around your neighborhood. Host a Park Clean-Up any time of year (weather permitting, of course) and improve your local hang out while making friends with your neighbors. Do it right and you’re sure to get some free coffee too.
