The center of the Yerba Buena Neighborhood is the Yerba Buena Gardens complex. Covering two city blocks, this award-winning 5.5 acre urban oasis sits on top of The Moscone Center. The Gardens include the Esplanade, a meadow of green grass that hosts free outdoor entertainment most days between May-October, a sister-city garden, the second largest Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in the country, restaurants, ice skating and bowling centers, a historic carousel, shopping, movie theaters, and two museums. Residents and visitors alike use the Gardens and the other Yerba Buena Neighborhood public spaces to escape the hustle and bustle of this vibrant area and soak up culture, natural beauty, and relaxation before heading back into the urban fray. |
