FACT CHECK Supervisor Alan Wong is willfully misrepresenting data to justify a park closure ballot measure. He claims that Sunset Dunes is causing "traffic injuries in District 4 to nearly double." THE REALITY District 4 Injuries in 2022 and 2023, with the weekend-only pilot, were higher than 2024 and 2025. SF residents now finally have a safe place to walk, bike and play in the Sunset, and the data backs this up.
Remind Supervisor Wong we love sunset dunes

Los Angeles Times. Is San Francisco in its comeback era? 
Here are 12 terrific new things to do in the city. Stroll or pedal past cool sculptures in the new, carless Sunset Dunes Park. The cars are gone. Sunset Dunes Park is a 2-mile stretch of seaside highway, reclaimed in April in the name of cyclists, runners, dog-walkers, beach-strollers and their ilk.
Business is up in the Outer Sunset, thanks to 
Sunset Dunes parkgoers!

Of all visits to Sunset Dunes, 62% are San Franciscans; 35% (more than half) are from adjacent zip codes (94122, 94116, 94132, 94127) and a pretty even mix of all other zip codes including 3% from 94124 and 94134 (our neighbors in the southeast), 3% from 94112 the Excelsior and 94121 the Richmond, 2% from 94114 the Mission and Noe – refuting the argument that this was just for eastside voters; of the 38% non-SF visits, about half are our neighbors to the south – Daly City, SSF, San Bruno, Pacifica; folks from Berkeley/Oakland/Alameda next, then a smattering of all other Bay Area
Since opening, Sunset Dunes has had over 150,000 visits. Weekend average: 7800 daily visits. Weekday average: 3400 daily visits.
Sunset Dunes is SF's third-most visited park

SENSITIVE HABITAT Dune Restoration in Progress Please help us protect this area by staying on designated trails. The dunes here have been planted with native beach wild rye grass (Leymus mollis) to restore the ecosystem. These plants are important for natural dune stabilization and for wildlife, but need time to grow and are sensitive to trampling. in partnership with ^ Fragile Dunes Stay on Trail

Parkin Progress WELCOME! You're in San Francisco's newest park. Here, where our city meets the Pacific, we're working with local artists, community organizations, neighbors, and city agencies to restore and protect vital dune habitat and add seating, water fountains, trashcans, skate and bike features, fitness equipment, and art that celebrates nature and our Sunset community. THIS IS YOUR PARK! These interim installations show what's possible; what happens next is up to you. Scan to give feedback, share your ideas, and get involved as we begin a community outreach process to create a vision for this new park together.

Call for Volunteers: Our movement has been volunteer-powered since the beginning! We and artists we’re partnering with need your help to get the park ready for day one and beyond. We need help prepping, priming and painting! Supplies and instructions will be provided. Sign up at 
oceanbeachpark.org/volunteer
TL;DR Our coast deserves better than two miles of gray concrete. So we’re partnering with artists to create temporary installations for the park’s opening. In tandem, we’re preparing an open call for artist proposals for additional temporary, rotating art. Read more at
