The Aquatic Park Promenade will be closed starting on Tuesday, October 18 for an extensive construction project to remove the railroad tracks and repave the pathway and is expected to reopen in March 2017. The tracks, though an historic feature of the Aquatic Park National Landmark District, were identified as contributing to an unsafe environment for the 4.2 million visitors who enjoy the park and its urban beach.
The Promenade will be completely closed during the construction period. Other areas of the park will remain open, and the beach will be accessible from Jefferson Street. The Aquatic Park Beach and Cove will be accessible via Jefferson Street. The Museum and San Francisco Senior Center will also remain open. The bleachers will remain open but will be accessible only from the south. Â Visitors are likely to experience crowded conditions and should use caution when transiting this designed landscape.
