About us
Peninsula Outdoor Painters (POPs) was established in 1977 and we welcome painters at every skill level. Our events are on Tuesdays at the same location for two consecutive weeks. Starting this year, we will also repeat some of our events on weekends to accommodate members who cannot paint on weekdays.

San Francisco Botanical Garden
San Francisco Botanical Garden, 1199 9th Avenue, San Francisco, CA, USMap showing entrance points to the Botanical Gardens
These beautiful gardens comprise 55 acres within Golden Gate Park and contain about 8,000 different types of plants from around the world. As you enter the gardens from Martin Luther King Drive, walk straight ahead to the lovely waterfowl lake surrounded by beautiful trees, rolling meadows and benches. You typically see ducks, geese and other waterfowl. This is our primary painting area, although you are free to venture elsewhere. There are two entrance gates to the Botanical Gardens - one on 9th Avenue and another on Martin Luther King Boulevard. Please park on Martin Luther King Boulevard then walk a short distance to the MLK entrance gate. There is no parking on 9th Avenue so avoid that entrance if you are driving. The 2nd Tuesday of every month is free, and October 13th is the free day. When we return on October 20, the standard entry fee of $7 for seniors and $15 for people under 65 will be in effect.
Parking
Free parking on Martin Luther King Drive adjacent to the MLK entrance to the park. You may have to walk a short distance from your car to the gardens because the free day is always popular.
Restrooms
When you walk through the entrance gate on Martin Luther King Drive, you will see the restroom building on the path to your right.
Lunch @ 12:30
