The Map
Rediscover San Francisco by bike or by foot. Let the Big Art Loop keep surprising you.
More Big Art is coming! Explore the entire 34-mile loop by bike in one day or enjoy it one section at time over multiple days. Installations are ongoing so if you’ve seen it once, you might be surprised when you revisit a location.
Exact placements have not all been selected and the routing is subject to change based on site logistics. This map represents the vision of the Big Art Loop with more refinements in process.
1. Portside
Fisherman’s Wharf to Heron’s Head Park, 6.3 miles
Currently the most developed section of the Loop, the Portside segment starts (or ends) at Pier 45.
Portside follows San Francisco's iconic waterfront, passing some of the city's most beloved landmarks along the way—Fisherman's Wharf, the Ferry Building, the shadow of the Bay Bridge, Oracle Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, and Heron’s Head Park. With 11 bold sculptures anchoring the route, there's something worth stopping for every few blocks mile. Flat and scenic, Portside is equally rewarding on foot or by bike.
