The Glen Canyon Recreation
Center in San Francisco’s Glen
Park neighborhood opened in 1938
during the Great Depression –
and certainly showed its age. But
a major renovation refurbished the
gym and auditorium; overhauled
the mechanical systems, roofing,
floors, windows
and
walls;
added accessible restrooms; and
brought the first indoor climbing
walls to the City’s park system.
We designed and managed the
project, in partnership with the
Recreation and Park Department.
The Glen Park community provided
integral input during the planning
and design phases.
The Glen Park Recreation
Center renovation project is
a
spectacular
demonstration
of how we can incorporate a
21st-century design into a historic
building and make it work
majestically.
