Tank Hill
Tank Hill Park is located in San Francisco near the intersection of Clayton Street and Twin Peaks Boulevard, which circumscribes the hill to the south and east. A rocky outcropping defines the north side, which falls in cliffs to houses below. From the south, and higher side of the hill, along Twin Peaks Boulevard, steps and a path lead to the top of the hill, which offers wonderful views of downtown San Francisco and the Golden Gate. The top of the hill offers flat and paved areas that date back to civic waterworks that once existed on the top of the hill. Tank Hill is a popular area for local residents to gather to watch municipal fireworks on the 4th of July. Crissy Field, to the north, is the usual site of a large San Francisco fireworks display, but the hills also offers views of fireworks in Oakland and the East Bay.

List Of San Francisco, California Hills
This is a list of the hills of San Francisco, California. Prior lists Several cities claim to have been built on seven hills. "The Seven Hills of San Francisco" are Telegraph Hill, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Rincon Hill, Twin Peaks, Mount Davidson and Lone Mountain or Mount Sutro. The origin of most longer lists of San Francisco hills is ''Hills of San Francisco'', a compilation of 42 ''San Francisco Chronicle'' columns, each describing one of the city's hills. The "Hills" chapter of Gladys Hansen's ''San Francisco Almanac'' repeated the list given in ''Hills of San Francisco'' and added the then-recently-named Cathedral Hill for a total of 43, but the "Places" chapter listed many additional hills. More recent lists include more hills, some lesser-known, some not on the mainland, and some without names.

Hills Of San Francisco
A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a distinct summit. Terminology The distinction between a hill and a mountain is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is universally considered to be not as tall, or as steep as a mountain. Geographers historically regarded mountains as hills greater than above sea level, which formed the basis of the plot of the 1995 film ''The Englishman who Went up a Hill but Came down a Mountain''. In contrast, hillwalkers have tended to regard mountains as peaks above sea level. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' also suggests a limit of and Whittow states "Some authorities regard eminences above as mountains, those below being referred to as hills."
