Bison Paddock, located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, is home to a herd of American bison that has been a cherished part of the park since 1892. These majestic creatures, once on the brink of extinction, serve as a reminder of the American West and are cared for by the San Francisco Zoo's staff within the park's picturesque environment.

The establishment of the bison herd (originally located near the Music Concourse) has contributed to the zoo's legacy of conservation and education, attracting visitors who seek to experience the unique presence of these animals amidst the natural beauty of Golden Gate Park. Today, the bison roam in a dedicated enclosure, skillfully maintained by both zoo staff and local gardeners, creating an engaging experience for all park-goers.
