Constructed in the footprint of a historic city reservoir facility, the 4.25-acre park features a multi-use lawn, children’s playground, dog park, and community garden.
The site’s single building provides public restrooms and operations facilities for city Parks and Recreation staff. The playground is designed into a natural slope that incorporates slides and other play equipment located near preserved elements leftover from the reservoir’s waterworks systems, which are integrated with new educational elements to connect the site with San Francisco’s rich history, particularly the early infrastructure systems that sustained decades of growth. This included restoring the reservoir’s brick and stucco east end to serve as a historical exhibit.
