There's a new spot in the Bay Area to enjoy stunning views.

Recently opened Panorama Park on Yerba Buena Island provides visitors with 360-degree views of San Francisco Bay, the San Francisco skyline, the East Bay shoreline and more.

The park also has a towering sculpture called Point of Infinity, created by artist Hiroshi Sugimoto.

The opening of the park comes as San Francisco works to transform Treasure and Yerba Buena islands into a community that, when finished, will feature 8,000 new homes; 300 acres of parks, trails and open space; new restaurants and shops; and a school and library, according to the city.

"San Francisco is home to the best parks and open spaces in the world and Panorama Park, with its spectacular views and world-class art installation, is a clear indication that the transformation of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island is well underway," San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement earlier this month. "Anyone who looks at any direction will witness the natural beauty of the San Francisco Bay Area, our impressive San Francisco skyline, and iconic sites such as the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. The opening of this park builds on our efforts to deliver amazing public spaces for all to enjoy."
