San Francisco Mayor London Breed, other city officials and representatives of the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday celebrated the start of construction for Bayfront Park.
The planned 5.4-acre open space located between the Warriors' Chase Center arena and San Francisco Bay is scheduled for completion in fall 2023. The new park will feature open lawns, a section of the Bay Trail, multiple plazas and more, according to the mayor's office.
"Mission Bay has made a remarkable transformation from unused railyards into San Francisco's newest neighborhood and a center for health care and sports excellence," Breed said."Now this crucial section of Mission Bay waterfront is on the cusp of a much-needed improvement with the construction of Bayfront Park. We are all ready for this strip of dirt to become a beautiful slice of green for everyone who experiences it.
According to the mayor's office, Bayfront Park was initially part of the Mission Bay South Redevelopment Plan approved in 1998. Since then, Mission Bay has added almost 6,000 housing units, 1,500 of which are affordable.
