A 2020 Eureka! Honor Award Winner

"Did you know that a famous grizzly bear once lived in Golden Gate Park? Or that in 1921, 25 bison escaped their enclosure at night and roamed the streets of the nearby Richmond district? You couldn’t make this stuff up. Written by a GGMG mom of two, this A to Z book will make your family look at GGP with new eyes and will probably inspire you to explore new spots. Fairy doors, anyone."
--Golden Gate Mothers Group Magazine
"I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this little picture book. Reading all these fun facts made me pretty curious about the place and I hope I get to visit it for real one day! I recommend this book for kids ages six and up!"
--Kids' BookBuzz (Hannah, age 13)
"To celebrate Golden Gate Park's 150th anniversary, the San Francisco Parks Alliance and West Margin Press have collaborated to publish this colorful, alphabetical introduction. . . For San Franciscans, and those planning a visit, especially with children, this book suggests a number of intriguing explorations. Especially useful in the region, but also where there's a general interest in geography and destinations."
--School Library Journal
From A for Artist Ruth Asawa's hanging wire creations in the de Young Museum, to Z for the Zebra on the carousel in the Koret Children's Quarter, this book leads you around San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Park to reveal a range of fun and surprising facts for tourists and locals alike. Step into art, science, nature, and culture by visiting the park's major attractions, like the serene Japanese Tea Garden; discovering secret destinations, like the magical fairy doors hidden in trees; or just relaxing on the green meadows where the bison roam. Included also at the back of the book is a colorfully illustrated map with extra trivia and details on the park's favorite sights.
The board book version of this is available as ABCs of Golden Gate Park.

is for Artist Ruth Asawa
Paintings hang on walls. Sculptures sit on pedestals. But Ruth Asawa’s most famous artwork hangs from the ceiling. You’ll find 15 of her wire creations in the de Young Museum—along with lots more awesome art.
is for Bison
These gigantic beasts (also called buffalo) have lived in the park for more than 100 years. In 1924, 25 sneaky bison escaped in the middle of the night and surprised people living in the nearby Richmond and Sunset neighborhoods.
is for Concrete Slides
Grab some cardboard and ride the slides! These concrete chutes were built in the 1970s in what’s now the Koret Children’s Quarter, one of the oldest public playgrounds in America. Add sand for more speed.
