Coco Parque
A public bayfront plot of about 1.3 hectares, with fruit trees, a gazebo and sea views, that had no free access for more than 20 years (it was a shipyard and then sat behind a building's gatehouse). The San Francisco community council reopened access on April 20, 2026, and in February 2026 a public hearing approved the "Coco Parque construction" project (about $700,000: kids' areas, pet areas and trails). As of November 2026 it remains open, although legal challenges against the gatehouse demolition are pending. Dogs must be leashed.
