SF’s Twin Peaks Getting New Park + Trails w/ 360° Views
San Francisco is moving forward with plans to upgrade Twin Peaks with new trails, overlooks with sweeping 360-degree views, and a car-free promenade.
The project, which has a groundbreaking Ceremony on April 29, 2026, will convert the closed eastern stretch of Twin Peaks Boulevard into a new linear park designed for walking, biking, and taking in the views.
What’s Planned
- Two parallel trails
- A paved, ADA-accessible path for bikes, strollers, and wheelchairs
- A softer natural-surface trail for walking and jogging
- New scenic overlooks
- Seating areas, including concrete seat walls
- Bike racks and updated signage
- Habitat restoration to protect sensitive areas, including the endangered Mission Blue Butterfly
- Better trail connections
The promenade is designed to link into larger trail networks, including the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the Creeks to Peaks Trail.
