On Saturday, April 28, the San Francisco Parks Alliance is offering a guided walking tour of the Golden Gate Park windmills.
The first stop will be at the Dutch Windmill and the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Gardens, followed by a walk along the Great Highway. At 11:00 am we will arrive at the newly restored Murphy Windmill for the opening of the windmill and cottage for the public.
The tour will end back at the Beach Chalet, where you can join the festivities of the Queen’s Day Celebration, a National holiday in the Netherlands that honors the Queen’s birthday. Enjoy a concert by the Netherlands American Foundation at the Park Chalet, visit the flea market and booths along JFK, and buy delicious Dutch delicacies. To add to the fun, participants are encouraged to wear orange, the Netherlands national color.
The tour runs from 9am until 11:30am, and meets at the Beach Chalet restaurant at 1000 Great Highway near Fulton. The cost is $10 for non-SFPA members, free for members.
To sign up, contact Donalda Watson-Walkinshaw at 415-621-3260 x118 or donalda@sfparksalliance.org. Space is limited and sign-ups close on April 24.
