SF’s New 4.5 Acre Park w/ Amazing Views “Francisco Park” Opens (April 27)
EVENT UPDATE: There are no upcoming events known for this event series - please check the organizer website for any updates.
Every week it seems like San Francisco is getting a brand new park, and this week is no exception.
The brand new 4.5 acre Francisco Park peers over the hillside above Aquatic Park and is one of the few privately-funded parks (along with Stern Grove and South Park) that has been gifted to the city.
The park sits on the location of the city’s first large reservoir which was built in 1859 and has sat unused since 1940. After three years of construction (with a COVID pause in the middle) the park finally opens to reveal a playground, community garden, fenced dog-run, amazing views of the Bay and will harvest 550,000 gallons of rainwater to irrigate the park.
