23 steps for the second level: 7, 8, 9

47 more steps up (10, 11) ​to the Nice Neighborhood Garden sign.

NOWs: 13, 14


Nearby is the top of the Franconia stairway (102 steps).

THENs from 2005:  19, 20

NOWs: 21 thru 32

​Peralta stairways -- First on the short, uneven concrete

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