Blue Heron Lake in Golden Gate Park is a 12-acre lake with an island in the middle, where hundreds of park visitors come to boat every week.

Unfortunately, the on-water boat storage shed where rental paddleboats and rowboats are kept is now in poor condition and deteriorating.

We’re excited to announce the Golden Gate Park - Blue Heron Boatshed project, which will demolish the existing boatshed, install new timber piers, and build a new, larger boatshed in its place to accommodate the expanded fleet.

Once the new boatshed is complete, the project will restore the lake edge used for construction access during the project.

Construction is expected to begin in mid-2027 and be completed by early 2028.
