Islais Creek Community Room Now Accepting Reservations

We are excited to announce that the Islais Creek Community Room is now accepting reservation applications within its newest bus maintenance and operating facility, Islais Creek. The facility began operating last summer on the north shore of Islais Creek in the Central Waterfront area. The facility accommodates both 40-foot and 60-foot hybrid buses by keeping them clean, in good working order and on the road where they belong… moving San Franciscans and visitors. 

As the neighborhood slowly transforms around the new facility, the SFMTA is contributing by providing a community room where non-profit organizations, community groups and government entities can gather. SFMTA staff worked with residents, organizations, and community group members such as Potrero Boosters, Dogpatch Neighborhood Association, International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and Friends of Islais Creek to ensure the room is accessible on the ground level and 2nd floor viewing area. The room is located on Indiana Street at the ground floor level adjacent to Shoreline Park and is equipped with an ADA accessible kitchen, restrooms and projector screen. The space can be reserved up to four hours at a time from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday and accommodates up to 87 people.

When applicants reserve the community room, they can view the creek from above by accessing the 2nd floor Islais Creek Viewing Area.  Access to the Islais Creek Viewing Area is limited to 12 people at one time, due to site capacity and building code requirements.
