"A clear majority of city voters ( 206,042 people) cast their ballots in support of the park in 2024. It has become increasingly popular ever since. However, District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio was recalled by about 13,000 voters in the district earlier this month, in part because of his support for the park. Sunset Dunes isn't going anywhere; the recall doesn't undo the will of San Francisco's voters. Nevertheless, advocates are not resting on their laurels."
"In the coming week, Mayor Daniel Lurie will interview candidates and appoint an interim Supervisor for District 4 (The Sunset). This comes after last week's special election when district voters recalled Supervisor Joel Engardio largely for his support of Sunset Dunes. ... we need to remind the Mayor how much all his constituents - in D4 and around the city - love our new park, and want the Mayor to defend car-free spaces and this critical stretch of coastline."
Sunset Dunes averages over 3,400 daily visits and over 7,800 on weekends as of September 2025 and ranks as San Francisco's third-most visited park. The two-mile park hosts regular activities and has become part of the city's fabric. A clear majority of city voters (206,042 people) supported the park in 2024, and popularity has grown since. District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio was recalled by about 13,000 district voters earlier this month, in part because of his support for the park. Advocates and the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition are urging action to ensure the Mayor appoints an interim supervisor who will defend car-free spaces. Supervisors Chan and Walton are threatening a new ballot measure to shut down Sunset Dunes, and advocates are mobilizing to prevent another attempt.
