The Tree Fern Dell and the adjacent Lily Pond are landscape features in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California. Developed between the 1890s and the early 20th century, the area contains one of the park's largest historic collections of tree ferns and an ornamental pond constructed on the site of a former quarry.
The landscape was developed during the tenure of park superintendent John McLaren, who oversaw the botanical development of Golden Gate Park for more than five decades.
