John McLaren Park is a expansive, rolling landscape that serves as the second-largest city park in San Francisco. It spans over three hundred acres of hills, grasslands, and forests in the southeastern part of the city. While it is often overshadowed by its larger sibling, Golden Gate Park, this space offers a rugged, quiet alternative to the more crowded recreational areas in the city. The park was established in the nineteen twenties to serve the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, which were then largely isolated from the city's primary park systems.
