Where to Park in Golden Gate Park

If you’re driving….

In Golden Gate Park. There is paid parking in an underground garage. Set your GPS to Music Concourse Underground Garage. Drive time from Acqua Hotel is about 15 minutes, and from Mill Valley Inn and Waters Edge 20-25 minutes.

Near Golden Gate Park. Try for a free spot in the neighborhood around the park by setting your GPS to The Coffee Movement, a cafe about 8 blocks (20 minute walk) from the centrally located de Young Museum in the park. Drive around the area to see if you can snag a spot, it happens!

If you’re taking the Ferry from Marin to San Francisco, regular bus service runs from Pier 39 and the Ferry Building to the park. Of course San Francisco is awash in ride share so that’s always an option.

See you out there!
