Ina Coolbrith Park

Ina Coolbrith Park is a terraced hillside oasis that serves as a quiet memorial to California’s first poet laureate. The park occupies a steep, narrow slice of Russian Hill, featuring a series of brick staircases and lush gardens that create the sensation of walking through a vertical, urban forest. Because the terrain is so sharp, the park creates an intimate, almost private atmosphere that remains hidden from the busy streets surrounding it.
