I was surprised to hear that there is an American Bison herd at S.F. Golden Gate Park. On February 13, 1891, is when the first Bison was brought to S.F. Golden Gate Park due to the species was close to extinction. The S.F. Zoo monitor and maintain the American Bison herds by feeding them oat hay, pellet feed, grain, and natural graze. It is located in S.F. Golden Gate Park near the Angler Lodge and west of Sprekles Lake on John F. Kennedy Drive. Parking is easily accessible by parking on the main street but I suggest that you visit the area early in the morning. The park hours are from 5 am until midnight.
The American Bison roams or moves a lot throughout the day in their enclosed field to eat and play. The bison herds are enclosed or surrounded on the field by a dual fence for safety. And you will see a lot of warning signs stating that do not feed the bison. We went earlier and hang around near their caging or containment area. We were fortunate enough to get closer and took a better picture since they go in and out from their caging area. We only stayed in the Bison Paddock for about 10-15 minutes. Enjoy and have fun!
