Steel from the original, dismantled eastern span of the Bay Bridge is used throughout the park, including as benches, posts for canopies, and light standards.

SurfaceDesign has created a small oasis of calm on property owned and managed by the Port of San Francisco.

According to SurfaceDesign, the park has been designed to incorporate sea level rise, which is a precedent for parks in the country.

Although the park is on Port of San Francisco land, it was paid for by the Mission Bay Development Group, in partnership with the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure. It is part of the original master plan for Mission Bay, which dates back to 1998.

SurfaceDesign won the steel from the Bay Bridge as a result of a contest. The rest of the park cost $32.3 million.

The area covered with the Warrior’s colors of Blue and Gold and giant Ws will be developed by the port in the future as restaurant space.
