Golden Gate Park — Murphy Windmill

No reviews yet

1691 John F Kennedy Dr, San Francisco, CA, California, 94121, United States

The southwest corner of Golden Gate Park around the Murphy and Dutch windmills, near Ocean Beach, has been a San Francisco cruising area for generations. Cruising guides cite the trails around the south windmill and parked cars on the approach roads; the Bay Area Reporter has documented ongoing use near JFK Drive and Bernice Rodgers Way. Combine with nearby Marshall's and Baker beaches for a full western-edge circuit. The park closes around midnight. Public sexual activity is illegal — police do patrol, and occasional incidents have drawn media attention.
