Mayor Lurie Breaks Ground on Final Phase of India Basin Waterfront Park Project, Upgrading Open Space in Bayview-Hunters Point
Mayor Daniel Lurie broke ground on a transformative 10-acre park project in Bayview-Hunters Point, consolidating two waterfront spaces into a cohesive public area. The project will feature a beach, boathouse, playgrounds, and sports courts, all while restoring local habitats and improving accessibility. This initiative aligns with Lurie's commitment to enhancing community spaces and safety. District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton noted that the park reflects the culture and needs of the Bayview-Hunters Point community. Phil Ginsburg, General Manager of San Francisco Recreation and Park, emphasized the importance of connecting the community to the shoreline.
The project is expected to create local jobs and promote environmental equity through workforce training and investments. The partnership includes several organizations committed to improving the neighborhood's future. The park aims to address long-standing community needs and is seen as a significant step toward revitalizing the area.
