Golden Gate Park - Stow Lake Perimeter Path Renovation
Background
Stow Lake is popular destination in Golden Gate Park for strolling, boating and picnicking. The existing asphalt path that circles the perimeter of the lake has deteriorated and is in need of repair. The project’s design will keep the perimeter path in its current alignment to minimize impact on the overall site and the landscaping. Additionally, the site furnishings will be refurbished.
Scope of Work
The intent of this project is to renovate the existing perimeter path at Stow Lake and the site furnishings, including benches and picnic tables to achieve ADA compliance. The construction will be performed in two phases so that half of the perimeter path will be open at all times. No work will be occurring in the area in front of the Boathouse.
Funding
This project is being funded by multiple sources including the following:
- Recovery Stimulus and Critical Repairs
- General Fund
- Mayor’s Office on Disability
