Lake Merced Trail Improvements | Construction complete!

Rec Park Improvements | All Project Updates Posted on December 24, 2024 | Last Updated on December 24, 2024

The renovated pathway along the NW corner of Lake Merced is officially open to the public! We have replaced fitness stations, benches, and picnic tables, installed a new drinking fountain, and upgraded ADA parking spaces. Additionally, we planted new trees along the edge of the pathway.

The contractor will be wrapping up some finishing touches over the next couple of weeks, such as installing bollards and adjusting the grading at the accessible parking stalls in the Sunset Circle Parking Lot.

Thanks so much to the community members who participated in our community meeting and helped advocate for this project. This will be our last blog update for this project. Please visit our park improvements webpage to learn about other major projects happening in the parks.
