The new Mission Bay Kids’ Park at the intersection of Long Bridge and China Basin Streets, which has sat finished but fenced-off for months, has been certified as safe and is slated to open tomorrow, July 1.
But the new 2.4-acre Mariposa Park at the corner of Mariposa and Owens, on the southern most portion of Mission Bay between Interstate 280 (as it currently stands) and UCSF’s Medical Center, which is also construction complete, will remain fenced-off for now but is still slated to open by the end of summer.
Fabulous news for lotsa kids that have been anxious to use that playground the past year!
Sheesh, if you’re going to surround a completed playground with construction fencing for an indeterminate amount of time, use the panels with green fabric so the kids don’t have to stare at it.
Blocking easy line of sight visual access into this area would have created a security problem. That would have more than likely resulted in people using it as a bathroom, setting up tents, etc.
Drove by this on Sunday, July 3rd. Still not open.
They have said it was going to be open several times in the past and missed the date. City does not keep its promises and their are no consequences…
