Sign Hill Park, South San Francisco

- South San Francisco
Sign Hill Park protects a steep open hillside above South San Francisco, known for the large historic “The Industrial City” lettering.
Trails and elevated views connect a local landmark with the peninsula’s broader landscape.
Use designated public trail entrances and check current city notices before climbing. Steep ground, exposed slopes and sensitive habitat call for suitable footwear and staying on marked routes. The photograph shows the hillside lettering, one feature within the park; it is not a separate attraction requiring an additional place listing.
