Pioneer Park

Pioneer Park is a historic village with museums, a Gold Rush town street, and historical buildings moved from downtown Fairbanks. It is also a theme park featuring a carousel and train that goes around the perimeter, as well as shops and restaurants. Spend a few hours or a whole day at Pioneer Park; there's something for everyone.

This densely wooded park, accessible by steep pedestrian staircases on Telegraph Hill, offers breathtaking views of the San Francisco cityscape and harbor. The park's main attraction is Coit Tower, a 1933 landmark that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On the ground floor, there are Depression-era murals, while from the top, there are spectacular panoramic views. Walking trails run around Coit Tower and down the scenic wooded slopes of the five-acre park is a good idea. Telegraph Hill's famed wild parrots may also be seen at Pioneer Park.
