Best Picnic Spot

The ultimate picnic combines elements of both wilderness and civilization, and that’s just what you’ll find at Sutro Heights Park, on a cliff high above the Great Highway at the outer edge of the Richmond. Park on 48th Street and enter the flat, grassy grounds past towering cypress and eucalyptus trees. There’s plenty of either sun or shade to choose from, a few well-placed picnic tables, benches from which you can look out all the way to Pacifica, the remains of the raised stone terrace Adolf Sutro built for his house (which used to sit here) and even a statue of the Greek goddess Diana. Ah, nature.
