India Basin Waterfront Park’s Equitable Development Plan

The India Basin Waterfront Park Project partners, made up of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, the Trust for Public Land, the San Francisco Parks Alliance, and the A. Philip Randolph Institute, are excited to share with you the Equitable Development Plan (EDP) for this transformative renovation. The landmark plan, a first for San Francisco, ensures this waterfront park will benefit current Bayview-Hunters Point residents while preserving the culture and identity of the historic neighborhood. It provides a blueprint for delivering a park designed by and for the community while improving economic opportunity and environmental health for its residents.

The EDP is the culmination of nearly two years of a community-driven process to preserve the rich culture, identity, and pride within Bayview-Hunters Point to ensure that the multi-million-dollar investment to transform the India Basin waterfront uplifts the community beyond its park boundaries. We celebrate this milestone and express our sincerest gratitude to the Equitable Development Leadership Committee, the Bayview-Hunters Point Community, the Equitable Development Working Group and our San Francisco State University advisors. Thank you for your tireless efforts and advocacy to shape the future of this park.

With this step, the city joins a burgeoning national movement with the goal of greening that keeps the economic and social benefits of a new park in the community and minimizes displacement. Read the plan here and watch its video below.
