Not Golden Gate Park

If you look at the background you can see this photo was taken on a hilltop overlooking the city. There is no place inside Golden Gate Park that would actually fit that, at least not with open greenspace like that. Also the low wall dividing the sidewalk from the grass is not to be found in golden gate park either.

Which means one of the hilltop parks in SF. To be exact this photo was taken at the western side of Lafayette Park, the corner of Laguna St and Clay St. You can see the cement wall is still there as is the squat fat corner post you can just see behind the hood of the car.

Cops.

Undercover.
