Sharp Park Golf Course has several problems: it loses money, it floods annually, and it harms two endangered species. But these problems can be solved. By restoring Sharp Park, we can save San Francisco money, sustainably adapt the coastline to climate change, help endangered species recover, and build a better public park that everyone can enjoy. Watch this video to discover how San Franciscans and Pacificans are working together to solve one of Northern California's most pressing conservation problems.

  • Sharp Park's lagoon was never a saline, tidally-influenced lagoons. It was a fresh to brackish backbarrier lagoon: perfect habitat for the California red-legged frog. We can make that habitat rich again by allowing the lagoon to migrate inland and upland as the beach sand is pushed inland by the sea--it is a natural process that will occur whether the golf course remains or not. If we plan and adapt, however, we can work with these natural forces while providing many public benefits.

  • Restoring Sharp Park will provide people from throughout the Bay Area, wide access to a tremendously special and increasingly rare California coastal ecosystem. A restored Laguna Salada watershed will draw folks to enjoy myriad recreational, educational, and community based habitat restoration and rehabilitation activities. These commons will provide a gateway through the heart of Pacifica, with paths and trails making accessible what is presently greatly fragmented, and utilized by few.

  • this is very stupid u want to rebuild which envolves trators why wouldnt those kill them, how long would it take fresh water frogs to die in salt water if the sea water is gonna move inland i strongly disagree.

  • San Francisco cannot afford to keep this golf course open...PERIOD.
