In 1934, a gun club opened on 9.5 acres beside San Francisco’s Lake Merced; 81 years later it closed

San Francisco is on the lookout for private partners to rejuvenate a 9.5-acre lakeside site, previously a shooting range that has been extensively cleaned up. The city envisions this area transforming into a vibrant public park and recreation hub, inviting proposals for water access, community spaces, and outdoor activities. This project aims to restore nearly a century of waterfront land for public enjoyment.
