About this spot

Alta Plaza is a steep, terraced Pacific Heights park with a playground, picnic tables, ball courts, and city and bay views. Its broad southern staircase is one approach; Rec & Park identifies Scott and Jackson as the wheelchair-access entrance.

Planning notes

💡

Choose the entrance before setting out with wheels. The Scott-and-Jackson access point avoids using the grand southern staircase as your starting route.

Accessible play, picnic, and restroom facilities are listed by Rec & Park

An off-leash dog area is in the southeast corner
