The Sunnyside neighborhood is on the southeast side of Mount Davidson.

The staircounts for this hike: 67, 55, 36.

Starting out on Bosworth from the Glen Park BART, a few blocks west, just past the Lippard skyway, is Hamerton,  67 steps: 1 thru 5

The stairway has two bench areas off to the side, one at Bosworth, the other partway up. 

At the top you’re still on Hamerton but now it’s a  street ascending steeply to the east dead-end of Mangels, a long street in the Sunnyside neighborhood: 6 thru 9

Continuing west on Mangels: 10, 11

Passing Dorothy Erskine Park’s south entrance. A short section of Baden here is said to be one of the city’s steepest:  12, 13

A THEN from 2006. This little house on Mangels collapsed some years ago: 14

The new owners were not hurt but this narrow lot is still vacant:

The lot is next to the Baden and Joost Street Minipark, the second stairway of the day, 55 steps: 15 thru 45

Joost near Baden:  46, 47

Joost between Baden and Congo: 48, 49

Three THENs from 2005 of the Sunnyside Conservatory before the renovation:   50, 51, 52

A few more THENs from the 2009 reopening of the Conservatory with Gov. Gavin Newsom, then San Francisco mayor: 53

Down from Joost, 36 steps for the north entrance to the Conservatory.

The Conservatory now: 54 thru 108

The restroom was locked. Assume it is, like the ones at the Presidio’s Rob Hill Campground, kept locked unless a group is renting the buildings. Probably so the homeless don’t lock themselves inside for long periods.

Joost: 109 thru 121
​

This house is on Acadia: 122

Continuing on Joost to the south dead-end of Lippard: 123, 124, 125

These Lippard homes are across the street from Glen Park School: 126 thru 131

Glen Park School mural:  132 thru 135

Lippard skyway over Bosworth on my way back to the Glen Park BART:  136

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