Hike the Coastal Trail down to the baths and up to Lands End (check out the labyrinth on the way). If the main parking lot is full, try across the street or in the upper lot. If you still can't find space, try near 48th Avenue/Geary, and walk through Sutro Heights Park.

A place to be happily lost for a day, or just an hour. It's all beautiful, but some of my favorite spots are the Garden of Fragrance, Heidelberg Hill, the bamboo groves, the redwood classroom, the native garden stone circle, and the moon viewing garden. I like to park at a secret spot along Stow Lake, where there's a path leading to the back entrance (Friend Gate) of the arboretum: https://goo.gl/maps/PasU1pW7uk82.
