Controversial Great Highway park in SF officially named
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The controversial park opening in San Francisco's Great Highway now has a name. After a park-naming contest was open to the public for about two weeks, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced on Wednesday the name of the two-mile park. Out of more than 3,900 responses and suggestions, 'Sunset Dunes' was proclaimed the winner. The park will officially open on Saturday, April 12. Ballot measure to potentially reopen Great Highway to cars floated by SF supervisor The park-naming contest was conducted between March 20 and April 2. The five finalists were named earlier this week; they were Parkland Parkway, Sunset Dunes, Great Parkway, Fog Line and Plover Parkway. However, the naming contest did not come without residents using it as an opportunity to vent or come up with outlandish names. 'Sunset Dunes beautifully reflects both the natural beauty and the iconic spirit of San Francisco,' SF Rec and Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg said in a news release. 'We are thrilled to officially welcome Sunset Dunes as a new, vibrant addition to our city's treasured parks, offering an unforgettable coastal experience for generations to come.' VIDEO: Bus engulfed in flames in San Francisco The park was able to come to fruition after November's election in which 54% of San Francisco voters approved Proposition K. The ordinance permanently shut down that segment of the Great Highway to open 'Sunset Dunes.' Despite the road currently being closed to cars, one San Francisco supervisor hinted at the possibility of introducing a ballot measure to reopen a segment of the Great Highway to cars. District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan addressed the issue over the weekend. Here is the extended list of submissions in the park-naming contest. This story will be updated.
