Welcome to India Basin Waterfront Park

The India Basin Waterfront Park Project is a partnership between the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, A. Philip Randolph Institute, Trust for Public Land, San Francisco Foundation, and the Bayview-Hunters Point community.

The project is environmental justice in action and aims to build a park that is both spectacular and crucial to the health of San Francisco’s southeast communities with an emphasis on public access, social equity, waterfront recreation, resiliency to sea level rise, and habitat and wetland restoration and enhancement.

The project plan combines the existing India Basin Shoreline Park area and the recently opened park at 900 Innes into India Basin Waterfront Park, one grand 10-acre waterfront park. The final portion of the project that will renovate India Basin Shoreline Park is anticipated to begin in mid-2025.

India Basin Waterfront Park is one of only a few parks in the nation to be guided by an Equitable Development Plan (EDP) developed by the community. The EDP ensures the park’s features and programming are culturally relevant and directly benefits the Bayview-Hunters Point community. EDP initiatives that are currently being implemented include Bayview Safety Swim and Splash and Rocking the Boat youth programs, the Food Pavilion’s rotating vendor and workshop programming supporting workforce and business development; Artist in Residence programming at the park supporting Arts, Culture and Identity, and more.

Night Work at India Basin Shoreline Park Begins November 10

As part of the India Basin Shoreline Park renovation, essential construction work will take place at night and on weekends this month. Night work begins Monday, November 10, and will continue through the end of November.

This work involves earthmoving along the shoreline, which must be completed during low tides at night to meet environmental permit requirements and protect local wildlife. The approved window for this activity ends November 30.

Residents may notice additional noise and lighting, as well as workers wearing Tyvek full-body protective suits. These suits are standard safety gear used when excavating older soil from the area’s shipbuilding era. Air monitors will be in place throughout the work to track air quality, and crews will take immediate measures—such as applying water to control dust—if elevated levels are detected.

Please note that this work is entirely unrelated to activities at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, which is roughly half a mile away. To see the full work schedule, click this link.
