In the 19th century, you would have seen nannies and children playing in the park.

Today, it's a mix: parents with strollers, local workers, restaurant customers and shoppers. People also stop in for a trim at the local hair salon, Grasshopper.

At night, when the stores close, you'll see a few more of San Francisco's homeless taking refuge in the green space.
