Sokol San Francisco Monthly Hikes

Golden Gate Park with a visit to T.G. Masaryk's bust - March 9, 2024 @ 11 am

Every year, our unit remembers T.G. Masaryk with a hike and a visit to his bust in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. JOIN US!

Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk was a Czechoslovak statesman, political activist, and philosopher who served as the first president of Czechoslovakia from 1918 to 1935. He is regarded as the founding father of Czechoslovakia.

Let’s meet in the parking lot by Stow Lake Boathouse.

From there we will go visit the Rose Garden and the bust of Tomas G Masaryk.

Masaryk's birthday is March 7 so we will lay some flowers at his bust at the Rose Garden.

Sokol San Francisco donated the bust to Golden Gate Park many years ago, come and hear the story.

We will visit the Observatory Deck of the de Young Museum to get a view of the City; it is free of charge and the views are beautiful!

We will continue by the Japanese Tea Gardens back to Stow Lake, cross the Stow Lake Bridge over to visit the waterfalls, and we will end up back by the boathouse.

It is an easy hike; all flat. Hopefully, the flowers will start blooming and we can welcome spring at this beautiful park.

Meeting place:

We are looking forward to seeing you hike with us!
