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.

This project aims to restore nearly a century of waterfront land for public enjoyment.
