Once a horse racetrack, the 80-acre Bay Meadows development is a vibrant, transit-oriented neighborhood that embraces the ethos of sustainability, community, and ecological resilience.
Within the development, Persimmon Park is a hub where residents gather to cultivate, share, and connect. Its community garden promotes food security and a haven for pollinators while the nature play area constructed from salvaged wood pieces offers an immersive experience for children, fostering a deep appreciation for the natural world.
The Landing Green linear park nearby offers an array of amenities for residents and visitors, including a striking steel sculpture, several large native planting areas, bocce court and an artfully designed children’s play area.
Development-wide innovative stormwater treatment systems ensure environmental stewardship by treating 100% of runoff on-site, minimizing the ecological footprint.
Persimmon Park, Landing Green, and all of Bay Meadows embody the spirit of sustainable urban living, offering a sanctuary where nature and community thrive harmoniously.
