28 - Lindley Meadow
Lindley is one of the larger meadows in the park, making it a nice
place for bringing a dog, playing frisbee, etc. It draws a fair number
of people on the weekends, so don't expect to have the area to
yourself.
That said, you can escape the crowds by venturing into
the woods behind of the meadow (to the south). This wooded area east
of the Polo Field (Golden Gate Park Stadium) is a rather pleasant
place to take a walk. You're likely to share the trails with
equestrians from the nearby stables.
You can find a
rather pretty though somewhat exposed place by entering the meadow
where 30th Avenue enters the park from the north and meets JFK Drive.
From that point, walk across the meadow to four picnic tables on the
far (south) side. Go to the left of these tables and up the hill into
the woods. Continue all the way up the hill until it flattens out
under a grove of loosely spaced trees.
This is a pretty area to spend some time, but
depending on where people might be passing, you will need to use
discretion unless you want to put on a show. The spot is more peaceful
on weekdays, when people might wander by but the likelihood is much
less.
