A home to Japanese maple trees and the WaaTeeKaa — a curious train museum of the Western Pacific Railway.

Address
50 Beale Street

Hours
Always Open

How to Access
Walk on Beale Street between Market and Mission. You’ll find a large open plaza filled with trees and a vintage train in the back.

This public park is free for anyone to enjoy, but you can also enjoy SF’s tiniest free museum. Board the WaaTeeKaa up the permanent ramp. Inside, you’ll find the Bechtel Museum collection. The 1920's train replica served as a traveling home for the Bechtel family, which currently owns the adjacent building today (50 Beale).

Hours
