San Francisco Recreation and Parks, in partnership with the Civic Center Community Benefit District, Urban Alchemy, San Francisco Public Library, Asian Art Museum, San Francisco Parks Alliance and recreation providers, is transforming United Nations Plaza and the surrounding Civic Center area by activating these public spaces with an array of recreational offerings and amenities.
U.N. Plaza Skateboard Plaza— This new 13,000 square-foot skating plaza is the first of its kind in the nation, featuring iconic elements from San Francisco’s street skating community. Designed by skaters, for skaters, this new area includes plenty of ramps, platforms, and edges for skaters to enjoy.
Fitness Court, by National Fitness Campaign— The new Fitness Court Music Studio at U.N. Plaza is a free, open-air wellness center, featuring the Fitness Court 7-minute full body workout system on one side and a second athletic floor for group classes on the opposite side. Created for adults aged 14 and over and with all abilities in mind, Fitness Court workouts are adaptable for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Users also may download the free Fitness Court App which acts as a coach-in-your-pocket and enhances the world’s best outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness experience. Rae Studios is currently providing free fitness classes at the Fitness Court.
Chess, Ping Pong and Other Games— A variety of game tables invites park visitors to sit down for a friendly chess match or pick up a paddle for a game of ping pong. All game amenities and equipment are free to use.
