beach chalet athletic fields A ten-year, $52 million public-private partnership with the City Fields Foundation culminated with the highly anticipated opening of the new Beach Chalet Athletic Fields in Golden Gate Park. The complex has been renovated with synthetic turf and lights, tripling the amount of playtime on the fields to more than 14,000 hours annually and dramatically increasing public access. The four synthetic turf fields accommodate a wide range of sports and save about six million gallons of water each year.
