But it's a great place to view the non-native fauna that has invaded San Francisco in recent years. There are roving "ambassadors," whose primary job it seems is to tell people to stay off the grass. The benches all have strategic armrests that make it impossible to sleep on them, in order to discourage homeless people from coming here. As far as the park, it's kind of like New York's High Line, except smaller and more corporate. ![]() Just a few sorry transbay buses right now in this transit center. The bullet train is still years off, if it will even happen. Virtually no business has moved in as far as I can tell. Hope it stays that way!Īs of fall 2018 it's pretty barren on the lower levels. So far it is clean and family friendly and very busy. It was amusing to watch people's reaction to it who hadn't read the description of how it worked. The most impressive thing was the fountain that shoots water up in the air along a long a tile path as a bus passes on the deck underneath. Available for entertainment were an Art Cart with art supplies for the kids, a Book Cart lending library, and a Game Cart with board games to use at the tables. Lots of seating is available both in benches and tables and chairs (including kid size). In the center here is a small ampitheater, climbing structure for the kids, and a future restaurant. Lots of interesting plants, descriptive signs, explanations of how this is going to grow on a roof (redwoods, no less). ![]() ![]() Go to the roof! A truly amazing arboretum in the middle of the city. The city buses (Muni) still stop out side, so maybe that's why it doesn't seem as busy. I can't really speak to the transit aspect of the center - right now it seems clean and well organized, if not completely full.
