South San Francisco officials broke ground on the future park at Linden Avenue and Pine Avenue and Cultural Plaza this week, marking a major milestone in bringing park and open space to the Old Town neighborhood.
City leaders were joined by community members and project partners, including U.S. Rep. Kevin Mullin and State Parks District Superintendent Chris Spohrer, to celebrate the start of construction at 616 and 700 Linden Ave. The project is supported by $3.2 million in State funding and an additional $830,000 from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund.
The project will also include 17 parking spaces to support both park users and nearby businesses along Linden Avenue. Later this year, residents will have the opportunity to work alongside artist J Muzacz to help construct mosaic elements that will be incorporated throughout the plaza and play areas. Construction on the park at Linden Avenue and Pine Avenue will continue over the coming months, with the park anticipated to open early next year.
