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.

Beautiful and very natural beach

Originally built to pump water for the Park, two windmills continue to function as historic monuments

beautiful place, you have to drive up along the road, otherwise many stairs, but it's worth it, beautiful viewpoint

Sutro Heights Park is often overlooked due to it's much larger and more famous neighbor, Golden Gate Park. However, its dramatic location on top of the hills overlooking Ocean Beach give you incredible views that he flat nature of Golden Gate Park can't match.

In one of the wildest parts of San Francisco, you'll find diverse vegetation and some truly off-the-beaten-path trails. To get an idea of the area, a hiking tour that starts well below the area at the Laguna Honda Reservoir is recommended. Then walk up Clarendon Ave to Christopher Drive and then up two steep flights of stairs to Bair Ave and then on to Interior Greenbelt where you will be rewarded with a great view. You can walk around the Sutro Native Plant Nursery and then take some trails around the UCSF enclosure towards Belgrave Ave. Hop off at the top of Stanyan St for incredible views!

Great view of the bridge, area great for a stroll.
