Aquatic Park Pier Closed

San Francisco’s Aquatic Park is a popular anchorage for sailors on the Bay. However, you won’t be seeing people on the park’s pier any time soon. According to the National Park Service:
The municipal pier is permanently closed for public safety. A Closure Order was issued on November 11, 2022, due to structural damaged sustained during the October 25, 2022, earthquake.
There is currently no viable approach to preserve the existing Municipal Pier or “fixing it” in a manner that would restore and maintain the historic structure in a reasonable or effective manner.

The pier would need to be entirely replaced, which includes removal and reconstruction approximately 1,400 feet of curvilinear pier with public access over a tidal baffle system, all features that contribute to the significance of the Aquatic Park National Historic Landmark District.
The cost for a replacement pier will depend on design and changeable construction materials costs, which are unknown at this time but would be expected to exceed $100 million.
Completed in 1933 to create a protected cove where San Francisco residents could safely swim and recreate, Aquatic Park Pier (also known as “Municipal” or “Muni” pier) is now a deteriorated historic landmark impacted by age, tide, and earthquakes. Although built strong, decades of standing against winter storms, pounding waves, and earthquakes have significantly weakened this 1400-foot walkway over San Francisco Bay.
