Golden Gate Park has more beauty than perhaps any other urban park in the country.  But it can be challenging for people to escape the crowds there and find private, romantic areas within the park.

"Fifty Places" is an informative and entertaining guide to the many romantic corners of the park.  Even long-time San Francisco residents are likely to find Fifty Places helpful in locating some of the park's prettier and less-visited places.

"Fifty Places" provides a humorous yet informative tour of the secret beauty in Golden Gate Park.  Readers will find it insightful regardless of whether they are looking for a private spot for romance, or just an uncrowded place for a picnic or walk.

The places in the book are grouped into chapters including: Especially Pretty, Particularly Private, Good For A Quickie, and more.  Convenient maps are provided, making it easy for readers to find all fifty places.  A variety of Top Five lists highlight the places that are in some way outstanding, such as Most Romantic, Most Scenic, Author's Favorites, Most Environmentally Friendly, etc.

J. McGanty moved to the Sunset District of San Francisco in 1982.  Golden Gate Park quickly became a favorite place for McGanty to go running, and he came to love the beauty of the park.  In writing "Fifty Places," McGanty hoped it will help many San Franciscans come to know the park better, inspiring them to visit parts of the park they might otherwise never see.
