Crooked Street and Community Garden

81 sidewalk steps descend on 22nd from Rhode Island to Vermont. On the east side of Potrero Hill’s twisty Vermont (first photo) are 88 sidewalk steps (second pic). On the west side is McKinley Square Park (third photo).

The Community Garden at San Bruno & 20th looked better today than I’ve ever seen it: lots of healthy looking flowers and veggies, including some tall, fat sunflowers. Highly recommended for garden lovers.

You can go inside; the garden gate has always been unlocked when I’ve visited. One can walk around or sit at the picnic tables in front. There’s this incredible view to the west with nothing in the way; the garden is on the edge with a freeway down below. Warning: It'll be difficult to tear yourself away.

From Rhode Island, a N-S Street. 22nd Street (north sidewalk) starts the sidewalk steps down to the foot of the twisty street at Vermont. The sidewalk steps are partway down 22nd from Rhode Island (walking towards the west). Vermont is just past Kansas. When you start up Vermont you will also see a stairway that leads into the beautiful little park called McKinley Square. (She also includes Kansas St. that wiggles uphill through bushes with various kinds of steps).

    I like meandering around on San Francisco's park trails and public stairways, sometimes taking photos, and enjoying nature and the outdoors.
