San Francisco Parks Committee Supports Golf Course at Sharp Park

The San Francisco Park, Recreation, and Open Space Advisory Committee (“PROSAC”) overwhelmingly endorsed retaining the 18-hole Alister MacKenzie-designed Sharp Park Golf Course during a December 1 public hearing at City Hall, .

By a 14-1 vote, PROSAC endorsed preservation of the golf course, in conjunction with the department's plan to rehabilitate habitat at the western end of the property for two threatened species, the San Francisco Garter Snake and the California Red-legged Frog. By a separate 13-2 vote, PROSAC approved a resolution encouraging the department to continue efforts to cooperate at Sharp Park with the city of Pacifica and County of San Mateo. All of PROSAC’s recommendations will be forwarded to the Recreation and Park Commission, which on December 17 will conduct a continued public hearing on the Sharp Park matter.
