A two-year project to rehabilitate the facilities at China Beach kicked off Thursday, May 4, at a ceremony overlooking the beach, Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate Bridge. The project will cost around $25 million, $10 million of which has been fundraised by the Parks Conservancy.

The picturesque and popular spot is one of the sites in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The rehabilitation will be led by the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the park’s nonprofit partner.
