The Amazing Race:  San Francisco

Transit Time!

Make your way to Yerba Buena Gardens. Options include:

• Take Muni from the platform across from Cupid's Span, but it is only served by 2 lines, so it may be a while before your train arrives
• Go full-speed on foot to Embarcadero Station which is served by more lines, but it may take a while to walk there.
• Get creative and go it your own way.

About Yerba Buena Gardens

Yerba Buena Gardens is the name for two blocks of public parks located between Third and Fourth, Mission and Folsom Streets in downtown San Francisco, California. The first block bordered by Mission and Howard Streets was opened in 1993. The second block, between Howard and Folsom Streets was opened in 1998. A pedestrian bridge over Howard Street connects the two blocks, sitting on top of part of the Moscone Center convention center. The Yerba Buena Gardens are owned by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and were planned and built as the centerpiece of the Yerba Buena Redevelopment Area.

Yerba Buena was the name of the town in the Mexican territory of Alta California that became the city of San Francisco, California, after it was claimed by the United States in 1846.
