The Crossing at East Cut
The Crossing at East Cut is a 3-acre city block within one of San Francisco’s newest multi-use, transit-oriented neighborhoods. Once a temporary bus terminal, the site has now become a central hub for community gatherings, active recreation, entertainment and social cohesion. Operated by The East Cut Community Benefit District (The East Cut), the site is free and open to the public and activates future development parcels that would otherwise be fenced. The Crossing offers an array of activities and programs that have established it as the neighborhood’s hub. These include:
- Food & Beverage: A beer garden and bar, food kiosks and occasional food trucks
- Community events: From seasonal celebrations to cultural festivals, The Crossing is the epicenter of local events. It is also home to regularly scheduled events including comedy and dance, free movie nights at the outdoor cinema, as well as hosting a summer-long series with a youth rock band.
- Farmers Market: One of the most requested events in the neighborhood, The East Cut continues to refine and iterate the market to meet community needs.
- Fitness & Recreation: LuxFit, Street Soccer USA and pickleball courts create the daily energy at the site, ensuring a healthy and connected community. The success of these fitness opportunities led directly to neighborhood residents donating two movable basketball hoops that now also see daily play, and the pickleball courts are quickly becoming one of the hottest destinations in a town clamoring for the sport.
