The west side has newer steps. Some years ago there was a parking lot just to the left of these. When they built a new apt. building here they also constructed new side-stairs. Not counted thistime

Pioneer Park is on the left as you ascend the 64 steps. Near the top is a fenced vacant lot to the right. Up to Telegraph Hill Blvd.: 5 thru 8


Across the street is a south stairway into the park. 29 steps to the first landing where there’s a bench. 64 up to Coit Tower’s walkway: 9, 10, 11

From Telegraph Hill Blvd. continuing with 50 steps down to the top of Greenwich on the  southwest side off the park: 26 thru 31

Jack Early Park is a narrow, one-way stair-park with benches and  64 steps. East side of Grant directly across from the east end of Pfeiffer, between  Chestnut and Francisco:  39 thru 46

This doesn’t go all the way down to Sansome, but you can get to the foot of the Greenwich and Filbert steps from here by curving round the foot of the hill for a few blocks.

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