Originally a tidal marsh, the area was dramatically transformed after the 1906 earthquake, when debris from the city’s destruction was used as landfill. By 1915, this newly developed land became part of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, showcasing San Francisco’s resilience and renewal. Following the event, the site evolved into the Marina District, now home to historic Art Deco buildings, high-end boutiques, and waterfront parks. Today, Marina Green stands as a symbol of both the city’s history and its love for outdoor recreation.
Marina Green is a lively destination for locals and visitors alike. The park provides unparalleled views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, and Marin County, making it a favorite among runners, cyclists, and photographers. It also serves as a gateway to some of San Francisco’s top attractions, including the San Francisco Bay Trail, the Wave Organ, and the Palace of Fine Arts.
