India Basin Waterfront Park
900 Innes Ave. park reveal video
The foundation is thrilled to share that the India Basin Waterfront Park at 900 Innes Ave. is now open to the public! Check out the video above and photos below to see the reveal plus SF Chronicle coverage here.
The India Basin Waterfront Park project is an ambitious effort to transform a post-industrial brownfield in San Francisco's historically underserved Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood into a 21st-century legacy park on a scenic waterfront. Remediation began in 2021, and construction will ultimately combine the new park at 900 Innes Ave., which opened on October 19th, 2024, with the existing India Basin Shoreline Park, creating a spacious 10-acre park that will deliver miles of winding trails, waterfront recreation, unbridled shore access, and resiliency to sea level rise. Construction on Phase 2 of the park, also shown below, will continue through 2027.
This project is unique, being one of the few park projects in the nation directly guided by a community-led Equitable Development Plan (EDP). The EDP ensures the park’s features and programming are culturally relevant and directly benefit the Bayview-Hunters Point community. Not only will the park increase access to clean land, water, and recreational space for local residents, it will create new economic and social opportunities, including workforce development, youth leadership, and space for community gathering.
The park is a testament to the countless community partners and residents who, in close partnership with SF Parks & Rec, the Trust for Public Land, SF Parks Alliance, and the A. Philip Randolph Institute, came together to make this dream become a reality. This initiative truly centered collaboration and community throughout the planning and implementation process to ensure the park equitably meets the needs of the local community—now and into the future.
