Centennial Way Trail Temporary Closure and Detour

Construction of the new Centennial Way Trail Park South project is advancing with the new bike pump-track, skate area and playgrounds taking shape. To allow for installation of new lighting, resurfacing and widening of the trail, Centennial Way Trail will be closed between Spruce Avenue to South Maple Avenue/Huntington Avenue starting July 8th.  Signage will guide trail users to Huntington Avenue as an alternate route around the construction area. The trail is anticipated to reopen July 26th.

Grading of the bike pump track and skate area is underway. Skate area granite slabs are fabricated and preparing for shipment.

Despite the rain and mud, the community and elected officials gathered Saturday February 3rd to celebrate the groundbreaking of Centennial Trail Park South. The ceremony included remarks from Congressman Kevin Mullin, Mayor James Coleman, Park and Recreation Commission Chair Ruth Denardi, Bay Area Caltrans District Director Dina El-Tawansy, Caltrans Office of Innovative Programs, and Division of Local Assistance Chief Gretchen Chavez. Members of the community assisted in the planting of trees and helped with litter removal along the trail.

Thank you to Bimbo's Bakery for a donation of light refreshments for the event.

Stakeholder Meeting #2 | March 21 & 30, 2023

Thanks to all who have provided input at recent March 21st and 30th skate area stakeholder meetings. Feedback received supports the design for a skate area to take cues from the San Francisco Federal Plaza, San Francisco Public Library and Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art. Granite will be incorporated in vertical and ground surfaces as budget allows.

As identified in the Centennial Way Trail Master Plan, this is one of several skate areas planned along the trail. Future skate areas have the opportunity to represent other skate styles, including traditional skate park elements. Question and comments on the skate area design can be directed to parkprojects@ssf.net.
