Tank Hill is one of San Francisco's secret treasures. Its name comes from the Clarendon Heights Water Tank built in 1894 by the Spring Valley Water Company to store drinking water pumped from Laguna Honda. Tank Hill became city property in 1930 when Spring Valley was acquired to establish the San Francisco Water Department. The prominent water tank was removed in 1957, and all that remains is its round foundation.

At an elevation of 650 feet, Tank Hill's main draw is its panoramic view from Point Reyes to Bayview Hill.
