The San Francisco County government meeting on July 4, 2025, focused on the approval of an ordinance related to the Treasure Island development. The ordinance acknowledges the acceptance of improvements made to a section of the Yerba Buena Island Hilltop Parks, specifically an area known as The Rocks, and designates it for public open space and park purposes.
Bob Beck from the Treasure Island Development Authority presented updates on the ongoing development projects on Treasure Island. He highlighted the completion of 229 housing units, with an additional 745 units currently under construction, expected to be finished by early 2025. Significant infrastructure improvements have also been made, including the completion of water reservoirs and a ferry terminal, along with ongoing geotechnical work for future stages of the development.
The meeting emphasized the importance of The Rocks Dog Park, which is part of a larger open space initiative on Yerba Buena Island. This park, covering nearly half an acre, overlooks Clipper Cove and is set to be opened to the public soon. The acceptance of this park is the first of several planned parks in the area, with more expected to be completed later this year.
Public comments were invited, but no speakers participated in the discussion. The committee unanimously voted to forward the ordinance to the full board with a positive recommendation, marking a significant step in the ongoing development of Treasure Island and its surrounding areas. The meeting concluded with plans for further updates on additional parks and infrastructure improvements in the near future.
