Upper Esmeralda Garden Stairway – Community Workdays
The Esmeralda Stairs are three block-long stairs that people can use to climb the west side of Bernal Hill. The bottom flight of stairs starts at Coleridge St., one block east of Mission St. The middle set of stairs goes from Prospect Ave. to Winfield St. The top section of stairs ends at Winfield and Esmeralda Streets. The Esmeralda Stairs are utilitarian, but they’re also fun. Two slides are often called the Winfield Street Slides in the mid-section of the stairs. These slides are 40 feet long, making for an exhilarating return trip after you reach the summit.
The Community Workdays are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

Tompkins Stairway Garden Work Day
Join us on the 3rd Saturday of every month at the Tompkins Stairway Garden from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to engage in rewarding activities such as weeding, pruning, and litter picking, and help maintain this quaint green space in our beloved Bernal neighborhood!
If you often use these stairs to travel to or from the Alemany Farmers Market, this is the perfect opportunity to help preserve their beauty.
We will provide work gloves and the necessary tools for the tasks. Moreover, experts from the U.C. Master Gardener program will impart knowledge on plant care. For safety, we recommend wearing long-sleeved tops, long pants, and sturdy shoes. Don’t forget to bring water to keep yourself hydrated.
Location: At the junction of Tompkins Avenue and Nevada Street, right at the top of the stairs. Join us and make a difference!

Once a trash-covered hillside, San Francisco’s Tompkins Stairway Garden is a safe and welcoming street park featuring a drought-tolerant garden in year-round bloom and a colorful tiled stairway. Dedicated attention from surrounding neighbors has transformed the site into a community greenspace and pedestrian corridor serving the Alemany Farmers’ Market and nearby schools and shopping districts.
