About the Location
Green Oasis in the City
Mission Bay Commons Park offers more than two acres of scenic lawn and green space, providing a central gathering place for the community. It serves as a focal point and social hub for the rapidly developing Mission Bay area, situated between office and residential zones, and near the UCSF campus.
Design and Features
The park is designed to reinforce the east-west axis of the neighborhood and features a unified character with a diversity of activities and uses. It incorporates both passive and active recreational areas suitable for children and adults.
The Commons includes appropriate hardscape (paving) for various urban open space uses, allowing for flexibility in activities and events.
Accessibility
The park's design emphasizes accessibility, with perimeter sidewalks, trees along the edges, and an interior route through the parcels. It is intended to be a meeting ground for residents, workers, and visitors in the area, offering a pleasant outdoor environment in the midst of the urban setting.
Park Management
Mission Bay Commons Park is part of a larger network of parks in the Mission Bay development, which has been transitioning to management by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department as of July 1, 2023. This transition marks a significant milestone for the Mission Bay neighborhood, whose redevelopment began in 1998.
