The Lands End Lookout will be located on this patch of land adjacent to the parking lot and Point Lobos Avenue.
As you may have read previously on the blog, a new visitor center is in the works for Lands End. It will be located next to the Merrie Way parking lot above Sutro Baths.
Next Saturday, November 6, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy will host a site tour of the project beginning at 10am. Project Manager Anne Baskerville will share the current site plan, renderings, and construction schedule for the project.
The new 2,500 square foot center will be called the Lands End Lookout, and will include 500 square feet of food service. A separate, 1,000 square foot building will house restrooms. The center and restrooms will be built on a triangular patch of land on the south end of the Lands End parking lot along Point Lobos Avenue.
To join the tour, meet in the Merrie Way parking lot at 10am, just up the hill from Louis’ restaurant. Write trailsforever@parksconservancy.org or call 561-3054 to RSVP.
This tour will kick-off a monthly series of walks and talks focused on Lands End. On Saturday, December 4, Alex Hooker, San Francisco Stewardship Program manager, will describe restoration techniques with native plants. And in January 2011, Peter Winch from the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary will talk about the marine mammals off the coast of Lands End.
