Recology Sculpture Garden
San Francisco, CA
Urban Canvases
501 Tunnel Ave, San Francisco 94134, CA
Sculpture Garden at Recology San Francisco is a private, three-acre facility that includes more than 35 sculptures made by former artists-in-residence, with new pieces added each year. Each facility tour includes a visit to the garden.
In 1992, under the direction and design of Susan Leibovitz Steinman, Recology San Francisco built the sculpture garden on a hill overlooking San Francisco Bay. The land functions as a buffer between the SF Transfer Station and the adjacent residential neighborhood, known as Little Hollywood. It was previously a field of ivy and ice plant. In 1994, the garden was dedicated to the memory of Joseph Johnson, former director of the Solid Waste Management Program of the City & County of San Francisco. Joe was also an artist and an important advocate for the formation of the Artist in Residence Program.
The garden path is made from recycled concrete salvaged from the Embarcadero Freeway when it was damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Bricks that line the path came from a building on Mission Street, and many of the plants in the garden were rescued from the garbage and brought back to life using Recology compost. Visiting the garden is a highlight for the 4,000 visitors who tour the Recology site annually.
