金银岛 is a modern engineering marvel that has had the best seat in the house for more than 80 years. The fact that it even exists is a human achievement.

历史

金银岛 is a 400-acre artificial island built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1936-37 on the shoals of neighboring Yerba Buena Island. While its name implies that there was something of value buried beneath, it was actually constructed from mud dredged up from the bay.

The original purpose of 金银岛 was to host the 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition. The GGIE was a glowing Art Deco “Magic City” of towers, 花园, 女神, and dazzling lighting effects created to celebrate the ascendency of California and San Francisco as economic, 政治, and cultural forces in the Pacific region. The fair also celebrated the local engineering achievements of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. After the fair, the US Navy took control of the island and transformed it into a naval station.

Naval Station 金银岛 was closed in 1997 and leased to the City of San Francisco. Today the island is open to the public and is home to more than 2,000居民, 商业租户, 餐厅, 学校, 艺术和体育组织, 以及社区组织.

参观理由

首先,也是最重要的:景观. San Francisco’s entire northern waterfront from bridge to bridge is picture-perfect here. The island is also home to public art, flea markets, and festivals throughout the year.

如何到达那里

金银岛 is easily accessible by car. Taking an Uber or Lyft is a great option. The 25 Bus goes to 金银岛 if you prefer to use public transportation.
