Salesforce Park*, an average of 70 feet above the city streets, is a 5.4-acre public park lushly landscaped and programmed with attractions that include a 800-person amphitheater, children’s playground, public plaza, planned restaurant, and areas for quiet repose. The park sits atop the 1.5 million square foot Salesforce Transit Center, which runs along four blocks of downtown San Francisco south of the Financial District. The new transit center consolidated regional bus systems and will serve as the future rail terminus for the Caltrain commuter rail and California High Speed Rail connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Along the north path of the park, Ned Khan’s “Bus Fountain” provides an interactive public art installation: a 1,000 foot long series of water jets responding to sensors triggered by the movement of buses on the bus deck one level below. Three large skylights integrated into the contours of the landscape allow an abundance of natural light to flow from the park down to the bus deck level and further to the Grand Hall level at grade and even below to the future train levels. The main plaza floor is the largest exterior glass floor of its kind in the United States.
