After being fenced off for 80 years, the site of the former Francisco Reservoir on San Francisco's Russian Hill is now open to the public as the city's newest park. Francisco Park, which is on Bay Street between Larkin and Hyde, sits upon the original site of the Francisco Reservoir, the city's first reservoir. Considering its history, it was only fitting that city leaders celebrated the park's opening on Wednesday with a watering ceremony.

"The San Francisco International Airport

It is a sunny day atop Russian Hill. From this quiet perch, the city spills in colorful patterns to the waterfront, where piers stretch out fingerlike toward Alcatraz and the misty hills beyond. It’s worth noting, says Launce Gamble, that there tend to be at least a few more sunny days in Russian Hill than some other places in the city..."

We invite you to become a part of this amazing project.

Upgrades like the Peninsula Pipelines Seismic Upgrade Project (PPSU) strengthen the northern San Francisco Peninsula’s earthquake readiness.
