Coyote Point combines a paved bay promenade, beach, marsh, picnic lawns, playgrounds, marina, and the separately operated CuriOdyssey science and wildlife center.
It is a Peninsula day trip rather than a San Francisco city park. Magic Mountain is scheduled for replacement construction beginning August 14, 2026, while the promenade and other park areas have separate conditions.
