At 1017 acres, it is in the shape of a long rectangle, similar in shape but 174
acres larger than New York's Central Park. A narrow strip, known as The Panhandle,
extends from the eastern end of the park. The park was planned in the 1860s and
built in the 1870s on land that was thought to be uninhabitable. The park contains
several San Francisco landmarks, including the De Young Museum and the Conservatory
of Flowers
