Head to Golden Gate Park to test your archery skills 🏹

Here's your plan for archery fun in Golden Gate Park, with equipment rental info and tips

Archery in GGP

Enjoy archery at Golden Gate Park Archery Field. Rent equipment nearby, and experience first come, first serve lanes in a scenic setting.

Archery

✅ Before you go 
• Rent your equipment just a few blocks away from the field here: http://www.bysel.com/sfarch/. We just walked in (no res). It's $40 for everything you need (my friend and I shared one bow). The man who works there (I believe his name is Eddy) is SO sweet and even taught us how to properly use the bow 

💪 Pro tips 
• The fields are first come, first serve with 10 lanes. We didn't have an issue getting an open one 
• Bring some snacks or drinks for after! It's just a few blocks away from Ocean Beach so you could walk there after or find a nice sunny spot in the park for the rest of the afternoon 

Play at GGP Archery Field

Golden Gate Park has a free-to-use archery field

You can rent all the equipment at a local shop

nearby and just grab a lane and you're off.

I made my brother go first because I was a little nervous,

but it was honestly much easier to get the hang up than I thought it was gonna be.

That said I was literally missing the target completely or

hitting dead center, there was no in between.

Meanwhile, I discovered my brother has a hidden talent for this.

Here's him proudly showing off his bull's eye.

It's a perfect activity for a sunny day in SF, all the

logistics are in the notes and just leave any questions in the comments.

Head to Studio Sumi

learning new hobbies like pottery and overall,

tucked into San Francisco's quiet Inner Richmond neighborhood.

Our instructor wasted no time diving into what

we would be creating a full breakfast set,

thoughtful demo showing us the basic hand-building

techniques we need and laying out all the tools and clay we'd be using.

We brought our own mushroom molds from home and it

was really cool pressing them gently into the clay,

sipping tea from Something you made yourself.

Everything felt accessible and low pressure,

We then were instructed on how to make our spoons.

So if you've been craving a creative reset like us and

just want to get your hands messy in the best way,

a few weeks once they're professionally glazed and fired.
