Beautiful, Whimsical Garden Bridge - Neatorama

This is the Drum Bridge, a feature of the Japanese Tea Garden at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. It was built in 1894 by the Japanese government for an international fair and exposition held that year in San Francisco. Have you ever visited it?

It's such a beautiful garden, I've been there once. SF has the most wonderful green spaces in such a packed city.

I love that bridge. It's so fun to climb but I'm always scared going down.

I have wonderful memories of going there as a very little girl and again a little older. I have 25 and 35 year old pics of me on that bridge that I want to find now. they used to serve tea and exotic little crackers for free at the end of the walk.
But that was a few recessions ago, the treat is no longer free.

I have and I love it so much. I love all Japanese gardens.

The Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California, has a similar bridge in their Japanese Garden, but sadly visitors can't cross it anymore.
