When Sunset Dunes opened a year ago, it made history as California’s largest pedestrianization project, creating a 2-mile, 50-acre oceanside park stretching from Sloat Boulevard to Lincoln Way.

Since then, it’s become a vibrant gathering place where people of all ages come to play, relax, bike, skate, walk, run, and connect by the coast.

Longtime San Francisco residents Susan (left) and Carol Jean (right) recently stopped by to take it all in.

Susan, who lives nearby, shared that the park offers a “sense of freedom and calm” as she strolled with her dog along the ocean.

“Sunset Dunes is my favorite park,” added Carol Jean, noting the joy and energy she sees in visitors.

The two especially loved the park’s creative installations, which they said bring people together and strengthen the sense of community.

“There’s so many structures here to admire,” Carol Jean said, adding that her favorite is the Wave Heart, located at Judah Street. “You can look through the heart and express your love for everyone.”

Join us this Sunday for the rescheduled PloverFest, celebrating Sunset Dunes’ one-year anniversary. Enjoy live music, a kids’ zone, a youth stage, and more from noon to 4 p.m.
