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.
Location Change: Frisco Friday at Joe Lee Rec Center on March 29
Made in the City, 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 first of the year on Friday, March 29 from 4 to 8 p.m., which will now take place at Joe Lee Recreation Center (1598 Oakdale Avenue) due to the forecasted wet weather. Come out for a fun-filled evening of music, food, games, children activities, and community vibes. Whether you're a Frisco native, a newcomer, or just visiting the city, this event is the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
This small business market is a partnership made possible through the India Basin Waterfront Park Equitable Development Plan (EDP). Outlined in the plan's Healthy Communities and Ecology area of focus, the project partners aim to use the physical spaces and park programming to build community cohesion and social capital.

India Basin Food Pavilion Proposal Opportunity
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department is looking for proposals to manage and activate the new Food Pavilion at India Basin Park for three years, starting in September 2024. The focus is on engaging the community and being responsible by offering culinary education, job training, support for food businesses, programs for youth and young adults, and weekend gatherings. The project aligns with the Equitable Development Plan, developed with input from diverse stakeholders in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood. En2Action, a local organization, is assisting with the process. Questions can be directed to Judith McRae at rfp@en2action.org. Proposals are due by Wednesday, April 17 at 5 p.m. For more information and to submit proposals, click this link.
