Union Square

Park · Union Square, California

Union Square is a city plaza at 333 Post Street, bounded by Geary, Powell, Post and Stockton Streets. Recreation and Park records it as a civic plaza of 2.6 acres, owned by the department. No source states opening hours for it, so none are given here. The Union Square Garage is beneath the plaza at the same address, telephone 415.765.9069, open Monday to Sunday from 5:00am to 11:00pm and run by LAZ Parking from January 2018.

History

The Dewey Monument stands at the centre of the plaza: a bronze figure on a granite column, by Robert Ingersoll Aitken. The San Francisco Arts Commission dates it to 1901 and gives its height as 1,265 inches, which is 105 feet 5 inches. Four columns by R. M. Fischer stand on the south side of the plaza, in stainless steel, polycarbonate and aluminium on granite. The Arts Commission dates them to about 1999-2002 and gives two at 240 inches high and two at 180.
