Check out the park in late summer to see
what the months of dry weather did to the flora and fauna of McLaren
Park. You'll want to recall this memory when our walks resume after
the rains come; the changes they bring - and the speed with which
they happen - are astonishing.
We can have any kind of weather from
glorious San Francisco autumn, to fog and wind, to one of our mini
heat waves, so check out the weather before you come and dress
appropriately. Don't forget sunscreen!
