Easy 2 and a half mile walk around Mission Creek
This walk is fantastic to see the wonderful houseboats on Mission Creek, with the Mission Bay development in the background. The condo units bordering the creek are particularly nice examples of Modern architecture done well and tastefully. The walk then takes you down Townsend to look in shops (we couldn’t resist Room and Board), then to John Henry where there are more shops and eateries. This area is under construction. For sure.

An open structure on Mission Creek housing kayaks. So evocative, fun and colorful.
Photos don’t do the design of these complexes bordering the creek justice.

Striking use of dark blue and orange paint works to great effect on this apartment block.
An expanse of promenade leading to China basin.
Terraced concrete entry with flowering bushes and trees works well here.
