Main Plaza
The main plaza of Sales force Park features an
oculus surrounded by a bamboo grove. This open
space is a perfect place for people to come and play.
There is also a walkable glass floor that is the
largest of its kind in the U.S. The main plaza also
hosts special events once the sun goes down, such
as silent disco nights and swing dancing.
Amphitheater
Located at the west end of the park, this
amphitheater holds up to 1,000 people on its grassy
lawn. It's also a great place for a variety of
activities, including free yoga classes, concerts and
movie nights under the stars.
Bus Fountain
A fun feature of the park is this interactive
permanent public art installation, a fountain
specifically created to correspond with the comings
and goings of the buses within the terminal below.
Built with more than 1,200 feet of white and gray
granite, this contemporary design is one of the
world’s longest water artworks.
Children’s Play Area
Located between the central lawn and the main plaza
is a children's play area, featuring a climbing rope
frame on a spongy protective flooring. After
romping and frolicking in the play structure, children
are free to borrow a book from the Children's
Reading Room for impromptu story time, or grab a
board game from the game cart.
Walking Trail
The perimeter of the park is a walking trail that
spans half a mile. Along the trail are 13 small
botanical gardens with flora and fauna representing
different regions of the world.
The Gondola
This might not be your normal mode of
transportation to a rooftop park, but it sure offers a
much more scenic ride than the average elevator or
escalator. This one-way gondola ride that takes you
from ground level to the park operates 8 a.m.-8
p.m. (May 1-Oct. 31) and 8 a.m.-7 p.m. (Nov. 1-
Apr. 30), and is free of charge.
