THE PROJECT
Age, water intrusion and weathering have weakened the Aquatic Park National Historic Landmark District's poured-concrete bleachers and associated underground structures. The project will include: demolition, removal and structural repair of deteriorated concrete; mechanical and electrical upgrades; repair of eight at-grade skylights.
 
THE IMPACTS
The bleachers and surrounding area will be closed and approximately two feet of earth will be removed from atop the underground structures to effect repairs. Visitor traffic along the Promenade will be limited to pedestrians (or persons walking non-motorized vehicles).

An alternate bicycle route through the park has been posted. At times, the movement of construction equipment and/or construction activity may temporarily close the Promenade and other areas of the District.

For more information email safr_planning@nps.gov or call 415-561-7006.
