GOLDEN GATE PARK TENNIS CENTER
PUBLIC ART PROJECT OUTLINE
BACKGROUND (CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT OVERVIEW)
Since 1894 players of every age and ability have learned, played, and competed in an iconic location
in Golden Gate Park. Billie Jean King and Rosie Casals, and Peanut Louie Harper all played there.
Since then, tennis enthusiasts of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds use the facilities for year-round
healthy recreation ranging from instruction and casual play to leagues and tournaments
The GGPTC renovation project seeks to update and upgrade the legacy courts and clubhouse at the
site that were constructed between 1894 and 1954. The project is a collaborative partnership
between the Tennis Coalition of San Francisco, the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department
and the San Francisco Parks Alliance.

The Selection Panel will reconvene to consider the finalists’ proposals in an interview format and will
select one artist and an alternate for the project for recommendation to the Art Commission.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
SFAC staff will present an overview of the public art project in conjunction with the CIP
