Sections of Bowling Green Drive, MLK Jr. Drive, and Nancy Pelosi Dr. will be reserved for vendor, crew, and staff parking (see graphic below). Consequently, public parking will be very limited in the area. The following alternative transportation options will be available:

  • Bicycle valet – there is complimentary bicycle valet provided by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. The bicycle valet is stationed on the East side of the meadow and can hold up to 300 bicycles. It is available to all attendees free of charge, from 9am – 5:00pm.
  • Muni – the standard day-of Muni lines will be available (5, 7, 21, 33, N).
  • GG Park Free Shuttle – there is a free and accessible shuttle service within GG Park. Guests are encouraged to get off at the Tennis Center/Dahlia Dell stop to get to Robin Williams Meadow.

Hydration Stations

Per the Bottled and Package Free Water Ordinance, No. 009-1, the sale or distribution of bottled and packaged water having a capacity of 1 liter or less is prohibited at certain events on city property.

Four complimentary water stations will be available throughout the meadow for refills – so don’t forget to bring your own refillable cup or bottle (no glass) to stay hydrated! Compostable cups will also be available at each station.

Opera in the Park is made possible, in part, by Opening Weekend Grand Sponsor Diane B. Wilsey.
Additional support provided by the William and Gretchen Kimball Fund and Kaiser Permanente.
