Bay Area Labyrinths: Zeum | SOMA | Willard | Fairview | Medcenter | Landsend

The first two labyrinths listed were gathered at random times. Since there are only a few pictures for the following labyrinths, I am putting them together on one page.

Zeum near the Metreon and Moscone Convention center
Behind the Zeum, there is a grass area that has a cement wall running around most of it. There are short, squat bollards along this low wall. The end bollards have finger labyrinths on their tops. These labyrinths are classical eleven circuit Chartes style labyrinths of a size to run your finger along the path.

 

SOMA
Just off Folsom on 8th St is a labyrinth painted on the wall. I believe it said it was part of the Labyrinth Habitat. It is very colorful and well made. It is a classical seven circuit labyrinth. You need to follow it by eye because you reach more than just the bottom of it. What I think is interesting is that this is really close if not in the San Francisco Fetish District.

 


Feb 5, 2006 was the day of the Superbowl and Crystal and I decided we were going crush the City under our fashionable heels. We ended up going A'Labyrinthing instead. This time hitting a more central section than the North Bay A'Labyrinthing in 2004. The first stop was the Willard Labyrinth in Berkeley. The next stop was the Fairview Labyrinth in Hayward. The next stop was the Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. Our final stop was the Lands End Labyrinth on One Mile Rock Beach. All of the labyrinths we saw that day were 11-circuit Chartes styles ones.


Willard Labyrinth
The East Bay Labyrinth project painted a labyrinth at the Willard Middle School 2425 Stuart Street, Berkeley (on Telegraph between Derby and Parker). It is open during non-school hours.

Lands End Labyrinth at Mile Rock Beach by Eduardo Aguilera
It is down from the Palace of the Legion of Honor and you have to walk to it. It is a rock formation on a large plateau overlooking the inlet adjoining the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay. Here is an Article and pictures about Eduardo Aguilera and his labyrinths
