Rincon Park

Rincon Park is a scenic waterfront green space along the Embarcadero, best known for its sweeping Bay Bridge views and the iconic Cupids Span sculpture, making it a favorite stop for photos, picnics, and a relaxing walk by the bay. Its central location between downtown and the waterfront promenade means the surrounding streets are busy with pedestrians, cyclists, commuters, and visitors throughout the day, especially during peak work hours and weekends.

Because curb space is limited and much of the nearby parking is metered or time restricted, parking near Rincon Park can be competitive and typically involves paid options with strict enforcement of posted rules. Planning your visit and reserving parking in advance helps you avoid circling in heavy Embarcadero traffic, reduces stress, and lets you focus on enjoying the park and nearby attractions. Always review current local signage and check official city or transportation resources for the latest parking regulations before you arrive.
