A park for you,
a park for me,
a park for everyone!
A proposal for a future-forward park at Golden Gate Fields.
One that respects the history of the site and offers an economic engine to repair the waterfront.
Once-in-a-Generation
Opportunity
We support acquiring Golden Gate Fields for public use. We believe it represents one of the most significant public space opportunities in California.
Before irreversible decisions are made, we should ask a broader set of questions about what this park can become—and how we create a park worthy of this remarkable site.
Acquire
Public ownership is the right first step.
We support the acquisition of Golden Gate Fields. Bringing this extraordinary waterfront into public ownership creates an opportunity that comes along perhaps once in a generation.
Acquisition is the beginning of the conversation—not the end.
Imagine
What kind of park do we want to create?
Should Golden Gate Fields become another shoreline park, or should it become a destination that blends ecology, recreation, education, culture, and community?
Great parks begin with imagination.
Fund
How do we build—and sustain—a great park?
Acquiring the land is only the first step.
How will the park be built?
How will it be maintained?
What economic engines can help fund programming, habitat restoration, operations, and long-term stewardship?
We should answer those questions before we eliminate opportunities that could help solve them.
Program
Parks thrive when people have reasons to return.
Ecological restoration is essential, but programming is what creates identity.
Youth sports.
Environmental education.
Markets.
Arts.
Community events.
Food.
Festivals.
Outdoor recreation.
The most beloved parks become part of everyday life.
Steward
The right vision deserves the right framework.
Who is best positioned to create and operate a park of this ambition?
How should it be governed?
What partnerships should be explored?
