A five-acre rooftop park atop the converted Barbara Jordan Post Office. Skyline views, a curved walking path, and one of the best free vantages downtown.

Creator notes
What works here
Northwest corner gives the cleanest skyline. Golden hour is unbeatable here — the towers light up while the rooftop stays in soft light. Bring a tripod-free setup; staff will redirect anyone with pro rigs without a permit.
