In 1934, a gun club opened on 9.5 acres beside San Francisco’s Lake Merced; 81 years later it closed, contaminated soil was cleaned up and the lakeside land is now being opened for public recreation

San Francisco is on the lookout for private partners to rejuvenate a 9.5-acre lakeside site, previously a shooting range that has been extensively cleaned up. The city envisions this area transforming into a vibrant public park and recreation hub, inviting proposals for water access, community spaces, and outdoor activities. This project aims to restore nearly a century of waterfront land for public enjoyment.
