…reminding me that — despite it being a major city — natural beauty was all around and readily accessible. And boy did I depend on it!
Lake Merced and Harding Park Golf Course were within easy walking distance of my apartment in Parkmerced, though I didn’t make it all the way around the lake every day (seeing as how it’s a distance of close to five miles)!
Parkmerced itself was an oasis of greenery in the midst of the city.
Then there was Golden Gate Park and Lincoln Park and Stern Grove and so many more! In fact, I just learned that San Francisco is the first city in the U.S. to have a park within a 10-Minute Walk of every resident. I can believe it!
