The Visitacion Valley Greenway is a recreational gem tucked into a residential neighborhood in southern San Francisco. The paved pathway connects a series of small parks that offer a plethora of fun opportunities for families: a butterfly garden, herb garden, picnic areas, a playground, whimsical artwork and other types of community gardens and play spaces. Clustered near the southern end of the trail is the local elementary school, library, post office, and other community facilities, so the greenway also provides a pleasant way for residents to reach them.
Metered parking is available on the southern end of the trail along Leland Avenue. On-street parking is also available along the other streets that the greenway crosses.
I am biased, but the Greenway is my favorite part of living in Vis Valley. My dog loves to go for walks through all 6 parks. There are a lot of varieties of birds through all the trails, along with some friendly neighborhood cats! There is a lovely coffee shop at the bottom on Leland Ave.
