In a sleepy corner of Bayview-Hunters Point, The City’s grand plans for India Basin Shoreline Park are beginning to take shape.
The project, whose first phase is expected to open at the end of 2024, has been in development since 2014, when The City acquired most of the bayfront property. Since then, Rec and Park has led an intensive community outreach process, including residents of the 2,500 public and affordable housing units nearby.
The result of those efforts was an Equitable Development Plan created by 20 community leaders from the Bayview. The plan stipulates that the project hire local, Black-owned contractors, and that locals will run concessions like a Chrissy Field Warming Hut-style cafe in the historic Shipwright’s Cottage. The project will also offer workforce development programs for construction workers, artists, and gardeners.
The eastern segment, known as the “big green” will begin once BUILD Inc. breaks ground on its fully-approved, 1,500-unit development project. Another challenging task will be moving a PG&E transformer on the western side of the park, which the utility has already committed to doing. An even larger PG&E transformer facility adjacent to the park that currently blocks views of downtown could someday be relocated and the land added on to the park.
