SF’s Brand New Gondola Opens July 1st

One of the most fun ways to get to the Salesforce Rooftop Park isn’t via a boring old escalator or elevator, but by a brand new downtown gondola system with a 20-passenger glass cabin which will connect the Mission Square (the new plaza of the Salesforce Tower at Mission and Fremont) to the rooftop park.

Salesforce Park’s grand reopening will be a subdued affair

San Francisco’s new transit structure, which shuttered six weeks after opening following the discovery of two cracked steel beams in September, will reopen to the public July 1. And while bus service won’t recommence until mid- to late-July, the park level, arguably the public’s preferred portion of the $2.2-billion behemoth, will once again be accessible.

But unlike the first opening, the gondola, which whisks people up two stories from the corner of Mission and Fremont, will be in operation.
