Promenade Play Days
Promenade Play Days is a series of free installations and events appearing on the JFK Promenade in Golden Gate Park over the next several months, and is part of a larger effort by Rec and Park and SFMTA to ensure safe, equitable access to Golden Gate Park. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors in April voted to keep a portion of the park’s main drag, John. F. Kennedy Drive, as a car-free promenade. Please note, a modified shuttle route will be in effect beginning October 3, 2022 to accommodate improvement work on the Promenade.
