PACIFICA, Calif. (KCBS) -- A new report out Friday recommends that San Francisco continue to operate Sharp Park in Pacifica as an 18 hole golf course. It also advises that the city change the course to improve habitat for the red legged frog and the San Francisco garter snake.
The course has been operating for 77 years on wetlands that are one of the few remaining habitats for those species. This report says retaining the 18 hole course is actually the best and least expensive way to save them.
KCBS’ Barbara Taylor Reports
There are three proposals on the table: keeping the 18 holes, reducing the course to 9 holes or returning the entire area to a wetland, the idea favored by environmentalists.
San Francisco Recreation and Parks Cheif Phil Ginsberg told KCBS he hopes all stakeholders will see the logic and embrace these recommendations which now go to the Recreation and Parks Commission for consideration.
