Buena Vista Park
Buena Vista Park, San Francisco, CA, USA
Located not far from the Castro, Buena Vista Park has lots of trails and paths with plenty of trees and hidden spots. You'll find a mixed crowd here, but mainly 35+ and not so many younger guys. Popular with the early morning dog walkers, the lunchtime crowd and also into the evening. The cruisiest spot is at the top of the hill looking out towards the city. It's quite a steep park, so it's not wheelchair friendly, but is generally quite safe. If you see the Police driving around, just walk away from their headlights.

Powerhouse
Powerhouse is one of the most popular gay bars of SoMa, offering a unique "no style" kind of style where a mixed but fetish-loving portion of the local queer community can hang out. It tends to draw a cruisy leather crowd, so if that's what you like then this is definitely the place to be. An interior decorated like an appropriately themed movie set provides a backdrop to specialist nights and parties where nothing is off limits.
440 Castro
This gay bar in the heart of The Castro neighbourhood is a popular hangout for bears and their admirers. It's busiest at the weekend with a mixed aged crowd enjoying strong cheap drinks and an intimate atmosphere. Regular themed events are hosted here throughout the week, including the understandably popular Underwear Night every Monday, which sees the bar packed with a cruisy, tipsy, and scantily clad male crowd.
