About This Resource
The Lyon Street Steps are a formal stairway connecting the Presidio to Pacific Heights in San Francisco. Unlike the cottage-garden feel of the Filbert Steps, Lyon Street features elegant landscaping with manicured hedges and palm trees creating a Mediterranean atmosphere. The stairs offer stunning views across the bay to Marin County. The wide concrete steps have become extremely popular with fitness enthusiasts who use them for stair climbing workouts. The combination of beauty, views, and excellent workout potential makes Lyon Street Steps one of San Francisco's most utilized staircases. The stairs exemplify how public stairways can serve both aesthetic and fitness functions.
