Sue Bierman Park, previously known as Ferry Park, is a 5.3-acre (2.1 ha) park in San Francisco, California in the Financial District, in the U.S. state of California.[1][2] The park is named after Sue Bierman, a San Francisco civic activist and San Francisco Supervisor.[3] The park is owned and operated by the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department.[4]
The park replaced the off-ramps of the Embarcadero Freeway following the freeway's demolition in 1991, prompted by damage from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. In 2007, the park was renamed from Ferry Park to Sue Bierman Park.
Sue Bierman Park is bordered by Washington Street on the north, The Embarcadero on the east, a combination of Embarcadero Plaza and Clay Street on the south, and Davis Street on the west. Drumm Street cuts through the center of the park.[1]
