Stay tuned for updates — we will let you know when the park needs your voice.

But we’ll continue to stand firm in our mission: protecting Sunset Dunes as a permanent public park that serves everyone, not a road for a few.

If she’s focused on listening and problem-solving together as a community, we are ready and willing to work collaboratively with her office to create the greatest coastal park - and neighborhood - we can.

We think Supervisor Alcaraz deserves an opportunity to demonstrate how serious she is about grounding her approach in community engagement.

Reverting to a road would waste money, destroy community amenities, and delay the inevitable transition to a resilient, car-free shoreline that will be a part of our future.

Let’s also be clear about the long-term. Climate change will not wait for local politics to catch up. The question is not if this coastal stretch becomes a park permanently, but when.

Why would we tear out the park to bring back a road that we all know won’t exist in the long term due to climate change? Our community deserves better: a permanent coastal park that SF can be proud of, not a return to a halfway measure that left our neighborhood embroiled in argument for five years.

These features are what’ve already doubled park attendance compared to the weekend road closure, and have brought new customers to local businesses.

Still, we want to be clear: allowing cars on the park in any way is not a “compromise.” It’s a park closure. Closing the park to bring back cars some days would mean tearing out beloved park features like the seating areas, play spaces, and skate park.

If Supervisor Alcaraz is genuine about her desire to start with listening to the whole neighborhood, we’re confident she’ll hear a strong theme: people are liking the park, even if they didn’t vote for it. We hope she hears these voices and focuses on moving the community forward.

Healing the neighborhood and listening to all voices are welcome themes after five years of divisive debate about the future of a road that climate change will ultimately close.

First, her statements focused on her long ties to the Sunset and a desire for ground-up governance, starting with listening and focusing on healing the neighborhood.

Second, Supervisor Alcaraz shared with the Chronicle that she's considering supporting a ballot measure that would close Sunset Dunes

Today’s park is just the beginning. Rec Park already started community engagement to plan the future blueprint of Sunset Dunes. What do you want out of your coastal park?

This new poll shows a 15 percentage point jump in support for the park in the Sunset – that’s huge.

We’ve always known a park is best for both the neighborhood & city. The coast belongs to all of us, but as Sunset residents, we have a special duty to be stewards for the place we call home.

Let's face it: many of our neighbors weren't sure about Sunset Dunes last year. But now that people are seeing the benefits (and that traffic levels have remained largely the same), hearts are changing in the Sunset.
