Bay Front Park
This 6.6-acre waterfront site is located in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco and is adjacent to a plethora of new building construction, including the visually dominant Chase Center. As a result, the city has slated this site for redesign and is requesting that it be connected to the San Francisco Bay Trail that runs along the edge of this site.

Concept
In the past, this brownfield was rich in ecology as a tidal wetland. The area is prone to flooding, and the natural tendency of the site is to return to being a wetland. The site redesign features earthwork berms to block the wind, native meadow planting to create habitat, and a natural wetland edge to restore a rich ecology to the site. The views of the bay from this site are unparalleled, and the design aims to provide every opportunity for users to enjoy them.
