Lake Merced?s fresh water supply keeps the Harding Park Municipal Golf
Course?s fairways green and its marshy shores attract a wide variety of
birds. You can rent a boat at the Lake Merced Sports Center or join the
ever-present throng of young and old taking advantage of the lake?s
excellent fishing. The 700-acre Harding Park surrounding the lake
offers picnic areas and hiking and bike trails. This district includes
plentiful parking, detached, single family houses,
middle-to-upper-middle income families, the San Francisco Country Club,
and the San Francisco City College.
An interesting mix of families, retirees and students from San
Francisco State University reside in the row houses of the Parkside
neighborhoods. The Stonestown Galleria mall is minutes away.
