Yes, I live very close to a few parks, including Golden Gate Park (3 1/2 blocks away). SF has tons of parks.

Yes, San Francisco has lots of parks and some I consider "nearby" enough. To get to my favorite parks, however, I need to catch public transportation.

I don't think so. Parks aren't really needed here. It's like we all live in a big one together already.
I do live near Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site, which is part of the National Park Service. It's not really a park, though. It's more like a little museum with a nice garden.

Let us again define near. It's about 10-15 minutes away by car..Probably closer to 10. It's the city park.

Far North Bicentennial Park. It's where I sit in the parking lot, finishing fast food before getting home, so the kids don't know I bought some.

Yes. My house was outside of the park, with right field touching my back yard. Mary's house is one lot away from the soccer field, which in my mind qualifies as a park.
the house I grew up at was 3 blocks from the park.

Kinda. I know where one is around here. It's not a great park. It's in a sort of dark corner, and there's a lot of lewd things in marker all over it. Not a place I would take any potential babies of mine. It seems more like a place for teen midnight naughtiness.

I live right next to a primary school, so, yes.

Yes. In fact, I can see it from my bedroom window. Further than a stone's throw, but I think a javelin thrower could hit it from my back garden. I've never lived more than a 15 minute walk from a park, and my parents' house backs onto parkland (mostly a small wood). I regularly visited the park that I lived furthest from (when I was in Liverpool) because I appreciated the greenery more while I was living in a very built-up area. However here, where I can see green hills and woods from my house, I've only visited the closest park once, because that's where the polling station was for the European elections.

Yes, which is nice. I can see the trees from my window too so I get a nice 'changing of the season' experience.
