FILLMORE TURK MINI PARK
Fillmore Turk Mini Park is an existing small urban park in downtown San Francisco owned and managed by the San Francisco Rec & Parks Department since 1978 adjacent to a decommissioned Muni Sub-Station.
Through a community-driven design process, TS Studio developed a park design vision based on the needs of existing users of the park in the community. The redesign proposes a variety of seating, gardens, and a renewed accessible performance stage, while maintaining the existing framework of the park, including a sunny event lawn and historic site walls. The proposed redesign includes a permeable plaza to alleviate site drainage problems and to recharge the groundwater at the bottom of San Francisco’s watershed where the historical Hayes Creek used to ephemerally flow in wet weather.
In 2016 Fillmore Turk Mini-Park was awarded the SF Recreation and Parks Community Opportunity Fund grant, and construction started in the winter of 2022 and is expected to be completed in fall 2023.
