Hidden within San Francisco’s urban tapestry lies Adah’s Stairway. It’s a testament to a woman’s love for the city’s hidden pathways. Adah Bakalinsky, author of “Stairway Walks in San Francisco,” inspired this urban oasis. Originally a neglected space known as Waller & Broderick Street Park, it was reborn in 2012. The community rallied to honor Adah, transforming the overgrown area into a vibrant garden stairway. Adah’s Stairway is nestled on the south side of Buena Vista Park, where Broderick and Waller Streets meet. It’s a haven for both nature lovers and those seeking respite from the city’s hustle. The stairway boasts stacked Napa basalt walls, creating a unique backdrop for the flourishing flora. Coast live oak trees provide shade. Berry-producing shrubs and flowering perennial plants offer a feast for the eyes and local birds. This sanctuary is more than just a stairway. It’s a vital link between Buena Vista Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s a place where wildlife can thrive. It’s also a place where people can connect with nature. Adah’s Stairway is a testament to the power of community. Volunteers, neighbors, and the city collaborated to bring this vision to life. They transformed a once hazardous area into a safe and beautiful space. Today, you can join community workdays every fourth Saturday of the month. You can contribute to the upkeep of this special place. Even canine companions are welcome. A dog fountain ensures they can enjoy the stairway too. Adah’s Stairway stands as a tribute to a woman who celebrated San Francisco’s unique charm. It’s a reminder to slow down, take a breath, and appreciate the hidden gems around us.
