Yerba Buena Gardens

The gardens are a lush green space in the heart of the SoMa/South of Market neighborhood. Bordered on one side by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and on another by the Museum of Craft and Folk Art as well as the Contemporary Jewish Museum -- Yerba Buena Gardens is at the hub of a cultural revival flourishing in this busy arts district. The Metreon building will soon be home to a San Francisco version of Tavern on the Green.

The center piece of the gardens is a waterfall cascading over the Martin Luther King, Jr Memorial. Walk under the waterfall to peruse the exhibits.

Yerba Buena Gardens is at 3rd and Mission. See the South of Market area on a San Francisco Neighborhood Map.
