Outer Parkside Neighborhood, San Francisco CA

About Outer Parkside Neighborhood

The Outer Parkside is part of a large group of neighborhoods running parallel to each other in the midwestern section of San Francisco, but each with their own distinct characteristics.

North of the three Parkside neighborhoods are the three Sunset neighborhoods, and atop that runs Golden Gate Park, which runs directly under the Richmond neighborhoods. The Outer Parkside, and many of its neighbors, were not developed until the 1930s and were previously an expansive sand dune. While the area can often be clumped together for reference, they are in fact four very different, and unique, groups of neighborhoods.

Directly outside the southern border of the neighborhood is the San Francisco Zoo, a destination for all San Francisco residents and tourists alike. And within the neighborhood limits, besides the sprawling oceanfront, are the West Sunset Playground and the South Sunset Playground, an easy destination for residents looking to stretch out in the outdoors.

History of Outer Parkside Neighborhood

In July 1905, a syndicate led by William Crocker stated that they had surreptitiously purchased land from the estate of Adolph Sutro and others in order to build a new million-dollar development. The "park" of Parkside was not Golden Gate Park, but rather the grove of trees and plants west of Sigmund Stern Grove around Laguna Puerca (now called Pine Lake, but affectionately known as "Mud Lake" or "Crawdad Lake" by locals).
