Overview
In 1973, the California State Legislature purchased the land with $10 million and in 1977 voted to turn this area to a state recreation area. After the designation, Candlestick became the first urban recreation area in the state. To this day, Candlestick remains as a major recreation area in San Francisco, offering stunning view of the bay.
