Project Background
The San Francisco Marina is composed of two harbors, known as East Harbor (also known Gashouse Cove) and West Harbor. The East Harbor consists of 342 boat slips, the City Yachts sales and fuel concession, and parkland, which includes a restroom and two parking lots. The West Harbor consists of the West Harbor marina, the Saint Francis and Golden Gate Yacht Clubs, the Harbor Office Building, and parkland that includes restrooms, a concession stand, and four parking lots. The West Harbor currently includes approximately 326 slips.
The Marina Green, a part of the marina and a major city park, is situated between the East and West Harbors.
The San Francisco Marina facilities have existed in their present configuration since 1963. The floating docks and gangways are made of timber and have degraded over time. The on-dock utilities have degraded as well as become obsolete.
HARBOR RENOVATION PROGRAM
The San Francisco Marina Renovation Project consists of renovations to facilities in both the East and West Harbors of the San Francisco Marina. The project includes waterside improvements over the entire 39-acre waterside portion of the marina and on 12 of the total 19 landslide acres.
