THIS EVENT WILL BE POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING 2026
Join us for a family-friendly guided walk/bike tour of San Francisco’s hidden infrastructure.
Morning Coffee Networking Meetup (9:00-10:00am):
Start your morning with community and connection! Before the tour begins, join us for a networking hour over coffee and pastries at DAMNFINE (map), hosted by AWWEE.
Biking/Walking Tour (10:00am-12:00pm):
After fueling up, we’ll set off on a guided walk/bike tour exploring the fascinating intersections of San Francisco’s natural landscapes, historic infrastructure, and innovative urban planning. Beginning at the Judah Steet entrance (map) at Sunset Dunes Park, we’ll navigate along the paved park trail, uncovering the hidden systems that have shaped the city we know today.
Along the way, participants will learn about San Francisco’s water and sewage infrastructure. We’ll also explore the story of the park’s historic windmills, once essential in pumping water to transform the sand dunes into the lush, green oasis that became Golden Gate Park.
The tour will conclude at the iconic Dutch Windmill, where we’ll gather for a short history talk about its engineering, restoration, and role in making the park. Whether you join by foot or by bike, this immersive experience offers a unique perspective on the blend of natural beauty, civic innovation, and history that continues to shape San Francisco.
Optional Post-Tour Lunch:
We plan to gather after the tour at Beach Chalet (map) for an additional networking lunch, not hosted by AWWEE. We would love for you to join, but understand if you have other commitments.
Feel free to join us for as much of the event as you’re able—we’d love to have you with us for the whole experience!
