Urban Hike: Bernal Heights Park

Join us for a relaxed morning of good conversation, fresh pastries, and a scenic hike up Bernal Heights Park! We'll start by meeting at **Arizmendi Bakery** to grab coffee and pastries before heading out together for a walk to the top of Bernal Heights Park. The hike is short but rewarding, with panoramic views of San Francisco and the Bay Area. **Notes:** * Please arrive on time so we can leave together after meeting at the bakery. We'll wait until **9:45am** for any late arrivals before heading out. * We'll keep a relaxed pace and make sure no one gets left behind. * Doggos welcome. Looking forward to exploring one of San Francisco's best viewpoints! 628-236-9369 if you have any questions

Hike On! 10th Annual Picnic at Kennedy Grove (🥳)

Improv Jam Session | Beginner-Friendly Game Day

Join us for a fun day of improv games! This is a free, beginner-friendly jam session (not a formal class). We try to get together about once a month and play games. As always, nobody is forced to participate but highly encouraged to jump in and play. **What to expect:** * Improv - short for improvisational theater - is a form of live performance where characters, dialogue, and scenes are created in the moment. * We’ll have a mix of warm-up games, learn about character development, physical comedy, and storytelling. * Depending on audience participation, we’re planning about an 1.5-2 hour session. **Where and when:** * Sunday, August 23rd - meeting at 2:00pm, games start at 2:15pm. * William McKinley Monument in NoPa: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gSDmnZA9md6r5orU9 * We’re planning to use the space in front of the monument as our “stage”. If you’re still reading (whoo whoo), here is a Wiki rabbit hole about improv: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvisational_theatre Come play some games with us!

Twilight Walk Along the Waterfront (with Off The Grid or Sundown Cinema)

Heads up- Aspyn the dog may join me on this walk. Start your weekend by joining us for a slightly shorter after-work walk this Friday, giving you plenty of opportunity to enjoy 2 of San Francisco's fun, free outdoor events: Off The Grid at Fort Mason, or Sundown Cinema at Marina Green. It's too crowded to do these events as a group, so we'll break off and catch up with each other as we can. Your "yes" RSVP is only for the walk. Off The Grid offers a variety of food trucks, music, and night market. https://offthegrid.com/markets/fort-mason-center#schedule It starts at 5:00 PM, so if you arrive early you might grab a snack before the walk. We will try to have enough time to grab something before the film starts (the last time we did this, everyone left OTG once the film began and were had the whole place practically to ourselves. Nice). Sundown Cinema is showing 1998's The Parent Trap starring Lindsay Lohan. The festivities start around 5:00, and the film begins around 8:00. https://sfstandard.com/sundown-cinema/ Bring a blanket, and a warm coat. Low chairs allowed, but you'll have to carry it on the walk. You can grab a bite at OTG or bring a sandwich and a beverage. We'll meet ON LAGUNA STREET (not in the parking lot) of the Marina Safeway. We'work our way over to the Fort Mason gardens before heading to the waterfront at twilight. We return through the neighborhoods, making sure we're back at Marina Green in time to enjoy the festivities. **WE START WALKING AT 6:00 PM** ON THE DOT. Please arrive a few minutes early to check in and use the restroom (at the Safeway or at the marina) This is a fairly easy walk, mostly flat with some hills at Fort Mason. It should take just about 1 1/2 hours. Sunset is at 7:54 If the weather cooperates, you should be able to see the sunset from either Fort Mason or Marina Green. Even with a bit of fog, the waterfront has a magical, calming quality. We walk in a loop and end about 2 blocks from our starting point. GETTING THERE- Public transportation is your best bet. Muni bus #43 (Masonic) ends its run at Marina and Laguna- in front of the Safeway and next to Fort Mason.. Line #30(Stockton) goes to Chestnut/Laguna. #28 (19th Avenue) stops a few blocks away at Lombard/Fillmore, and the 22 (Fillmore) ends at Chestnut. It's about a 10 minute walk from line #45 (Union) at Union/Buchanan. There are also multiple Golden Gate Transit lines that run along Lombard. Driving- This is a busy residential and recreation area, and there are two big events happening. Parking could be tricky, as Off The Grid uses all the spaces at Fort Mason. Your best bet for parking might be Fillmore Street between Marina Middle School and the waterfront. There is a paid garage at Pierce and Chestnut. ATTENDANCE-Basically-EVERYONE WHO RSVPS "yes" is expected to attend. If you have a change in plans, update your RSVP. No showing is very bad and will probably get you removed from the group. Late cancel is also bad and will be noted. EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS MUST RSVP. Showing up with RSVPing is not acceptable This walk is only open to San Francisco City Steps members. Dogs are always welcome on my walks. I may have one with me. They must be well-behaved with people and other dogs, and remain on-leash at all times. Please note that both events may be very crowded, so make sure your dog doesn't spook easily. You are responsible for your own safety on all City Steps walks. Your yes RSVP confirms that you have read and agree to the liability policy found at the bottom of every Meetup page. The weather is supposed to be nice, but "dress in layers" could be our city motto. You'll want a jacket by the sunset. And definitely bring extra layers if you stay for the film.

Sunday Kickball @ Bushrod Park!

BASS presents our favorite event, kickball! We will be at our normal spot in the East Bay at Bushrod Park in Oakland! Bring your soccer cleats (for better grip on the field), sunscreen, and athletic wear and water for a fun time out! For those who haven't played kickball before, the rules will be explained and demonstrated before we start. Depending on the attendance, we'll either have 2 teams facing off or a rotation of 3 teams all together. Then after we may hit the local pizza/bar scene if everyone still wants to hang out. We have a HARD START at 1pm, so please be sure to show up on time for warmups! (We also nearly lost the field previously because not enough people were there on time) See you there soon! 🔴 Note: Please, please, please don’t no show. 🙏 It makes these events really difficult to plan. If you no show once, you will be given lower priority for future events. The second time, you will be removed from the event list for any attendee limited event we host.
