Abstract
The new Pacific Bell Park in San Francisco, home for San Francisco Giants, is the latest Ferry stop on the San Francisco Bay. The ballpark and terminal represent yet another piece of the Port of San Francisco redevelopment. The two berth ferry terminal is fully ADA accessible to a wide range of passenger ferries operating on the bay. Initially, the ferry terminal will operate during Giants home games. Future regular ferry service is planned for the Mission Bay area development of San Francisco. This paper describes the design process. The background of the Pacific Bell Ballpark site is described. The terminal planning process considered numerous alternative facility arrangements. Regulatory agencies played an important part during planning and design. Functional and environmental design criteria for the terminal are discussed and design features of the terminal presented.
