Maritime Plaza

Maritime Plaza, sometimes known as Maritime Plaza Park, is a 2-acre (0.81 ha) elevated park and roof garden in San Francisco, California in the Financial District, in the U.S. state of California. Designed in 1967 by landscape architects Sasaki, Walker and Associates, it surrounds the One Maritime Plaza building. The park can be accessed from the ground level via staircases or via elevated walkways from adjacent Embarcadero Center on the south and apartment buildings on the north. The park is owned and operated by the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department.

Maritime Plaza is bordered by Washington Street on the north, Davis Street on the east, Clay Street on the south, and Battery Street on the west.

Several pieces of the San Francisco Civic Art Collection are located in the plaza, including Standing Figure – Knife Edge by Henry Moore, Bronze Horse by Marino Marini, Bronze Icosaspirale by Charles O. Perry, and Limits of Horizon II by Jan Peter Stern. The central Peacock Fountain, sometimes referred to as the dandelion fountain, was designed by architect Robert Woodward.
