Polo Fields and Speedway MeadowStop on Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, a free self-guided tour.The Polo Fields form one of Golden Gate Park's largest open spaces - two huge adjoining meadows that together can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. This is hallowed ground in the history of San Francisco counterculture: the January 1967 Human Be-In gathered 20,000 people here in a gathering that helped spark the Summer of Love. The fields have hosted landmark concerts by the Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, and many other legendary performers over the decades. The adjacent Speedway Meadow is a beautiful, tree-lined open space popular with picnickers, frisbee players, and families on weekends. On quiet mornings these meadows offer a remarkable sense of space and calm deep within an urban park - a reminder of why Golden Gate Park was designed as a refuge from city life.Stops on this tourMcLaren Lodge and Sharon MeadowConservatory of FlowersRhododendron DellMusic Concourse and Spreckels Temple of Musicde Young MuseumCalifornia Academy of SciencesJapanese Tea GardenSan Francisco Botanical GardenStow Lake and Strawberry HillSpreckels Lake and Model Yacht ClubPolo Fields and Speedway MeadowBuffalo Paddock - American Bison HerdRainbow Falls and Chain of LakesDutch Windmill and Queen Wilhelmina Tulip GardenOcean Beach - Western Gateway
