In the 1870s and 1880s, Golden Gate Park was planted on sand dunes and required substantial irrigation. In 1902, the Park Commission authorized the construction of two windmills to pump groundwater for park irrigation rather than purchasing water at exorbitant costs from the Spring Valley Water Company. The Murphy Mill was completed in 1908,[4] and pumped 40,000 US gallons (150,000 L) per hour to the park.

Opened in 1896 by Adolph Sutro, a former mayor and entrepreneur, the remnants of the Sutro Baths are part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The facility boasted six saltwater pools one freshwater pool, slides, trapezes, springboards, and even a high dive. Despite its popularity, the baths faced financial challenges, due to high operating costs, and eventually closed.
