Alister MacKenzie's Sharp Park and
Scenic Lincoln Park Are in Danger!
Anti-golf activists have promised to bring legislation before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in Spring 2010 demanding the closure of Sharp Park Golf Course, Alister MacKenzie's historic and affordable seaside muni in Pacifica. In December 2009, however, both the SF Recreation & Park commission and the Park, Recreation & Open Space Advisory Committee voted by landslide margins to save the 18-hole Sharp Park Golf Course as part of a habitat restoration project for the benefit of the federally-protected frogs and snakes there.
The San Francisco Public Golf Alliance, working together with environmentalists, historic preservationists, muni golfers and the City of Pacifica, is developing a financially sound plan to save the MacKenzie golf shrine while improving the natural habitat and preserving affordable public golf.
The Alliance is also working with Lincoln Park’s neighborhood organizations and others who want to protect Lincoln, the historic public course on the northwest tip of San Francisco, against development. We are fighting against an effort to drive off golfers--beginning with the transparent proposal to install parking meters in the Lincoln parking lot--and develop an unneeded events center and related roads and parking facilities overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.
We need your help to make sure that current and future generations of golfers can enjoy these historic, affordable courses. Please read through the website and join our mailing list to get involved.
