Construction is underway at China Basin Park, which is adjacent to the SF Giants' 28-acre development project called "Mission Rock" in Mission Bay! The 5-acre waterfront park is designed collaboratively by Miller Company Landscape Architects, SCAPE Landscape Architecture, and Min Design. Features of the park include accessible intertidal shelves facing Mission Creek with an adjacent beach, a children’s playground, extensive plantings of native and adapted vegetation, a large lawn with expansive views of the city and bay, a secure dog play area, a central plaza, event space, and restaurant pavilion. The footprint of the park is raised in anticipation of future sea level rise with stormwater treatment generated from the new towers facing the area.

Back before the AIDS crisis, the secluded Ringold Alley in SoMa was, ahem, the go-to place for gay men to have a little rendezvous after a night out at Folsom’s leather bars. Ringold is a lot quieter now as a tree-lined alleyway with row houses. But the alley’s history isn’t forgotten. Stroll down Ringold and you’ll see historic markers, sidewalk bulb-outs painted like the Leather Pride flag and bronze “boot prints” embedded in the concrete in tribute to the men who once cruised the alley and the businesses in the neighborhood.

The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District and SoMa West are hosting a block party this Saturday from 12-3pm. History tours will be given at 1 pm and 2 pm by noted historian and District board member Gayle S. Rubin. There will also be live painting with Josh Katz, rope bondage suspension with Two Knotty Boys, and caricatures by Paul Gallo.

In honor of the Alley’s bronze bootprints, sixteen local artists are each turning a combat boot into an art piece. The boots will be on display for online bidding as well as during the event for a silent auction. Many of the artists will be on hand to discuss their work. Come out and play!
