Head to the “frame” in Hunters Point!
Have you ever taken the 19 MUNI bus to the end of its route? Not the bustling tourist hub, but further south to Hunters Point? Let me tell you, it's an undiscovered gem.
🎨 Art Galore:
- A 15-foot statue of a skinny sax player called "Bayview Horn" welcomes you, courtesy of Jerry Barrish. 🎷
- Up the concrete stairs, you'll find Walter Hood's "Refrain," a mesmerizing forest of steel pipes. 🌳
- But the real showstopper is Mildred Howard's "Frame," a huge rococo frame that you can walk through and admire "Refrain" within its whimsical context. 🖼️
🌿 The Hidden Park:
- Beyond "Frame," you'll stumble upon the unexpectedly serene Hillpoint Park. 🌳
- Manicured greenery, concrete seating, and an observation deck reveal stunning views of the shipyard. 🚢
- Don't miss the picnic tables and beautiful mosaic tile art by Heidi Hardin and Colette Crutcher. 🌈
⛲️ Swing by the Gazebo:
- Just around the corner, you'll find Matthew Geller's inviting metallic gazebo, aptly named "Vertical Swing." 🪀
- Take a leisurely circuit around the park, and before you know it, the next 19 bus will be ready to whisk you away. 🚌
🗓️ Seven Years of Hidden Delights:
- Surprisingly, these attractions have been here for the past seven years! How did we miss them for so long? 🤷♀️
- Whether you hop on the 19 or not, make sure to visit Hunters Point and immerse yourself in its unexplored potential. 🌟
