Project Overview:
India Basin Waterfront Park transforms a post-industrial brownfield into a 21st-century legacy park in a historic waterfront context and offers winding trails, habitat restoration, waterfront recreation, equitable shore access, and is designed for resiliency to sea level rise. Drawing inspiration from the historic marineways once used to repair boats on the site, the park provides a large lawn for active play and group gatherings, a native landscape of upland sage and shoreline planting, the restoration of the Shipwright’s Cottage, a floating dock, two new public piers, and new food pavilion, community boat building, and operations/maintenance building.
