San Francisco’s Cityside Park Set to Debut on Treasure Island’s Waterfront Next Summer

Treasure Island’s park system continues to come alive, with the expansive waterfront Cityside Park under construction and set to make its debut in 2025. The park is one of several set to open over the next year and among the 300 acres of parks and open spaces planned in the reimagining of Treasure Island. Across both Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, many of the city’s most scenic new parks are open, welcoming guests from all over the Bay Area daily, including Panorama Park, Signal Park, Clipper Cove Beach, Buckeye Grove and The Rocks Dog Park.

Among the crown jewels of the island’s open spaces, Cityside Park stretches over three-quarters of a mile along San Francisco Bay and the Treasure Island promenade, capturing sweeping city skyline views. Accessible from the moment of arrival to the island, the park is located beside the Treasure Island Ferry Landing and steps from the residential offerings, including the new waterfront high-rise now leasing, Isle House. 

The 300-foot-wide linear park was envisioned by CMG Landscape Architecture, the Master Landscape Architect for Treasure Island. Throughout the island’s master plan, CMG is weaving the core values and goals of the project into the design of the open spaces, including environmental sustainability, envisioning parks as regional destinations and creating authentic community connections. 

CMG shared that their vision for Treasure Island is to create a contemporary landscape that is socially active, environmentally progressive, and rooted in its place as an island in the middle of the Bay. Working with the Treasure Island Community Development team, CMG approached the redevelopment as an opportunity to pioneer innovation in sustainable infrastructure and socially oriented landscapes, with Cityside Park embracing and embodying these goals in an incredible waterfront location.

Now under construction with planting beginning in the fall, Cityside Park is set to open in the Summer of  2025, featuring a wealth of spaces and landscape typologies ranging from intimate and immersive to wide open and flexible. The plans include an event lawn, plazas, native habitats, picnic areas and a beachfront on the Bay, with views stretching from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate Bridge and beyond.

Miles of trails and 300 acres of parks and open spaces could be located just beyond your front door. On Treasure Island, Isle House is now pre-leasing with the first move-ins coming in August 2024. Yerba Buena Island features an exceptional collection of residences, including condominiums for sale at The Bristol and the expansive two- to four-bedroom, single-family Row Homes with panoramic vistas.
