Sciences in Golden Gate Park to the San Francisco Zoo on Ocean Beach on
Sunday, August 22nd

Mayor Gavin Newsom today announced the
return of Sunday Streets on Great Highway on Sunday, August 22nd.
Reprising the popular Penguins to Penguins theme with a 4.5-mile route
that runs the nearly the entire length of JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park,
Sunday Streets on Great Highway connects the existing Sunday car-free
area to MLK Drive to Ocean Beach along the Great Highway from Lincoln to
Sloat Boulevards.

“Since 2008, San Francisco has produced 14 successful Sunday Streets
events to activate our neighborhoods and communities in a unique and fun
way to promote healthy active lifestyles. San Francisco has produced
more car-free events than any other major city,” said Mayor Newsom.
“These events are collaborations between City agencies, non-profit
partners, sponsors, and community leaders to showcase each
neighborhood’s Sunday Streets route, and this weekend’s event highlights
many of the unique features and institutions on the Westside of our
City including our world class Golden Gate Park and zoo.” Read more.
