At Golden Gate Park is an authorized release in the United Kingdom of a recording of the concert given on May 7, 1969, by the San Francisco, psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

The concert was popularly bootlegged several times and this is the first time it has been officially released.^[1] The concert itself was prominent for Jefferson Airplane filled the bill with contemporary band, the Grateful Dead. It also includes tracks from their album Volunteers before that album had been released in November 1969. Included are three bonus tracks that were not a part of the concert.^[2] The CD artwork wrongly lists track 13 as 'Mexico' (Slick) instead of '3/5 of A Mile in 10 Seconds'.^[1]
