San Francisco Sightseeing Articles

Sunday Streets organizers and community groups will gather at the corner of Jeffersonand Hyde Streets on Thursday to announce the locations of the activities and events being offered at the kickoff of Sunday Streets on April 26, when a stretch of San Francisco roadway from AT&T Park to Aquatic Park will be open for free recreational activities.

Sunday Streets 2009 kicks off along the Embarcadero on Sunday, April 26 between 9AM-1PM. The Bayside portion of the Embarcadero will be closed to auto traffic from AT&T Park to Aquatic Park, providing 3.4 miles of open space to enjoy.

Tens of thousands of Bay Area residents took part in Sunday Streets last summer, which opened local roads on Sunday mornings for physical activity.

Modeled on a 30-year old program started in South America, Sunday Streets creates routes for local families, kids, and adults to walk, jog, and bike, and participate in group exercise.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the two inaugural Sunday Street events in 2008, Sunday Streets will expand to six Sundays this year.
