Parenthood 1x6 - Lunch in the city/Biking with Dad

-When Haddie and Julia discuss her career they are in a nice outdoor restaurant with part of the San Francisco skyline in the background.
-Adam is sitting in a park with Haddie and he explains to her that her mom is responsible for the park in front of them.
Though the scenes are set in very different locations, they were actually filmed in the same location: Grand Hope Park in the South Park neighborhood of Downtown Los Angeles. Though the scene with Julia and Haddie actually shows some landmarks from San Francisco in the background, if you look closely you can tell that they were added by the special effects department.
This park is right at the corner of 9th and Hope St in Los Angeles, in a nice, up-and-coming area of Downtown Los Angeles, just a few blocks from the convention center, Staples center, and LA Live. The building that Haddie and Adam walk through is actually FIDM (aka the school Lauren Conrad goes to in "The Hills" and also where they shot the LA episodes of "Project Runway")

Parenthood, 1x6 - Sarah and Mark Holding Hands

When Sarah and Mark finally get some alone time, they walk through a nice little park, holding hands for the first time.
Though the show is set in Berkeley, this park is actually located in Santa Monica. It is a pocket park in the Ocean Park area called Hotchkiss Park, just a few blocks away from the Ocean and Main St. The white apartment building visible in the background is located at 3rd and Hollister and the park itself is just east of Stand St, between 3rd and 4th. Though popular with residents in the area, this park is always very quiet and offers some nice ocean views.
