About this app

SF POPOS is your definitive guide to San Francisco’s Privately Owned Public Open Spaces—quiet plazas, rooftop terraces, hidden courtyards, and indoor retreats woven into the city’s dense urban fabric. From the Financial District to SoMa, discover spaces that offer a place to sit, recharge, or step away from the pace of the city.

Whether you are looking for a calm spot to read, eat lunch, or take a break between classes or work, SF POPOS helps you uncover public spaces that are open to everyone, even when they are located on private property.

Turn everyday movement through the city into exploration. Save your favorite spaces, keep track of where you have been, and build your own collection of places across San Francisco.
