SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Guy Place Mini Park, a new 3,500-square-foot open space located on Rincon Hill, opened Monday, San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced.

Situated on Guy Place near the Bay Bridge approach, the mini park features three defined green spaces, adorned with native California grapevines, eight river birch and dogwood trees, a pet fountain and relief area.

The $4.5 million project includes "Geologic Ghost", a waterjet-cut steel fence designed by artist Adriane Colburn, inspired by the geology and history of Rincon Hill.
