A world-class park in the heart of the Bayview
San Francisco’s newest waterfront park will deliver miles of winding shoreline trails, acres of restored tidal landscape and an abundance of recreation opportunities to the Bayview’s front porch. In an historic moment for environmental justice, the India Basin Project will transform a dilapidated relic of the industrial shipwrights’ era into a 21st-century park with an emphasis on public access, social equity, resiliency, and restoration.
Frisco Fridays at India Basin Shoreline Park on April 26
Family Equity Partners and the India Basin Waterfront Park project partners are proud to bring Frisco Fridays to India Basin Shoreline Park (Hunters Point Boulevard and Hawes Street) to continue this event series in 2024. Join us for the next one on Friday, April 26 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the park, which will feature a fashion show by the event vendors. Come out for a fun-filled evening of music, food, games, children activities, community vibes and plenty of green space to enjoy.
This series is a partnership made possible through the India Basin Waterfront Park Equitable Development Plan (EDP). Outlined in the plan are the strategies to use the physical spaces and park programming to build community cohesion and social capital and to support Bayview-Hunters Point commercial corridors beyond the park.

ABC7: Transforming Toxic Areas into Thriving Community Spaces
In honor of Earth Day, check out ABC7's coverage of the India Basin Waterfront Park project. It not only highlights the restoration work we've done at this future park site, but the project's workforce development program, which trained and placed local Bayview-Hunters Point residents in construction jobs, including working on the park. Watch the full piece at the this link.
The Workforce Development program is an initiative of the project's Equitable Development Plan, following the strategy to provide Bayview-Hunters Point residents training and professional development opportunities through construction and operation of the park.
