St. Mary's Park

St. Mary's Park has that old-time feel: neighbors helping neighbors, Easter Egg Hunts, visits from Santa, Pumpkin-carving Contests, but with the wonderful amenities and conveniences of city living.

The well-manicured lawns and lovingly maintained gardens illustrate the care and concern the residents of St. Mary's Park have for the neighborhood and their neighbors.

Take a walk around the block (any block). You'll see small children riding their bikes on the sidewalks. Bigger kids skateboarding. People walking their dogs or a enjoying ritual evening outing with their toddler son. You might smell a backyard barbecue smoking or that sweet aroma of freshly cut grass.

Yet you're only a 10 minute jaunt from Glen Park Village, a pleasant sojourn to the shops and restaurants of Cortland Avenue and but a minute from freeways.

St. Mary's Park is the hidden jewel of San Francisco. Discover it today. Call me to find out what's cooking in St. Mary's Park. It might just be pulled-pork barbecue. Or a lemon tart from one of the many meyer lemon trees growing in the backyards. Or 100's of tamales.
