Impressive

Feb 2019 • Family

This enormous bow and arrow structure is impressive. It is located at a short walking distance from the Ferry Terminal Building. Certainly worth visiting for taking some pics.

Don't mind the art - didn't like the area

Aug 2019

As public pieces of art go, this isn't bad and a good backdrop for photos. We planned a walk down to the Embarcadero to see the Ferry Building and this is only 5-8 minutes further walk along the promenade, towards the Bay Bridge.

The seafront promenade is a pleasant walk but this area seems to have its fair share of undesirables. My friend had visited earlier the same day and she said a lady (who appeared to be on something) was making very loud, lewd comments to a nearby man and made no attempt to stop when my friend walked by with her young daughter.

Cupid’s span

Dec 2017

Very photogenic location right next to the Bay bridge. It’s not far from the San Fran port, but not much else to do around the bow.

Great photo op!

Apr 2017 • Solo

From this vantage point one has a great view of the city and the bay and the bridge. No wonder Cupid chose this very spot along the waterfront.

Pretty cool

Apr 2016 • Couples

Impressionant architecture. You see it right in the beginning of the walk along the Embarcadero. Nice to see through different angles and get some good shots. So big and colorful, glad I got to see!

A real eye catcher

Jul 2016 • Couples

At 60 ft. tall and 150 ft. long - the sculpture is the centerpiece of Rincon Park. Relax in front of the giant Cupid's bow and enjoy the view of the bay and the Bay Bridge. It looks great with the big city buildings behind it.

Cupid's Arrow - 60 foot sculpture in San Francisco

Jan 2020

I took a nice walk along the Bay and took a photo of Cupid's Arrow. It is a 60 foot sculpture and was commissioned by the Gap.
