Planning Association for the Richmond (PAR) reports that the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy has received a new $5 million grant from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund to support restoration efforts at Land’s End.

The gift from the Goldman Fund will enhance the following projects and anchor work already completed at Land’s End:

  • Visitor center at the Land’s End Trailhead at Merrie Way with informational displays describing the area’s rich cultural and natural history. This facility will allow locals and visitors to enjoy an indoor space that will complement the dramatic outdoor restoration work already completed.
  • Improve the Trailhead and Overlook at the end of Camino del Mar, overlooking the coastal trail on the Pacific.
  • Restore and improve the Eagles Point Trailhead and Overlook that will create an accessible trail from Eagle’s Point at the edge of the Sea Cliff neighborhood.

    Amy Lyons, executive director of the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund, said “Lands End has always been special to Mr. Goldman as he used to walk there with his father as a young boy and continued the tradition with his grandchildren.”

    Land’s End attracts over 1 million visitors each year. A recent NPS survey indicates that within a 48-hour period, almost 5,800 people visited the area.
