We have one coastline

Open Space

What does an expansive, smooth car-free space by the ocean mean to people? Holly explains why it’s so important for her and her son Trevor.

Endless Fun

The Great Hauntway is the West Coast’s largest car-free trick or treat event, made possible by Friends of Great Highway Park. We also host events every weekend.

Imagine what we can do with a full-time park.

“The great highway park is home, my church, my therapist...it’s been a little tradition of mine since I was young pup. To stroll along the beach walk, soak up some natural vibes, clear the mind and then head to Celia’s for some of grandmas cooking. All around food for the soul”

Phil Havlicek - Co-Owner, Celia’s By The Beach

  • For The Outer Sunset:

    A park means a kid-safe & car-free route for commuting, strolling, live music, trick-or-treating, dog-walking, skating, and playing.

  • For All San Franciscans:

    It’s a destination for adventure, a refreshing breeze, a gorgeous sunset spot, or a healthy ride. It’s also the best way to access the Outer Sunset without a car.

  • For Visitors:

    Great Highway Park is a remarkable and unique promenade, a fabulous event space, a place to experience community. Even the New York Times agrees!

  • For Drivers:

    A permanent park means a better driving experience from Lincoln to Sunset Boulevard to Sloat and Skyline. New, better-timed signals means a smoother ride and less time in traffic.

What could a full-time park look like?

We’re just getting started.

Great Highway Park is making the coastline accessible and inviting for a broad range of activities and ages.
