Shaping SF: Another Way Urban Walk & Talk: Candlestick Pt State Recreation Area

Candlestick Point State Recreation Area is a natural park on the bayshore, built on landfill, created by community input and control. We spend the afternoon at this outpost where land and bay and sky all connect. Explore the sights, sounds, smells, and stories of life at the edge and ruminate on the rising seas, and whatever other whimsical insights you may have. On this immersive wander we give historical context of the urban state park’s creation and the habitat it provides, and engage in individual and collective thought experiments about an utopian future. Bring something to share and we’ll end with a picnic at one of the many gorgeous spots on this underexplored state park in the bay! Bring notebooks for sketching, writing thoughts, poetry, songs, etc. or perhaps record sounds and make photos or videos to share with each other.
