Construction began this week to repair the iconic Trocadero Clubhouse in Sigmund Stern Grove, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced today.
A resolution approving up to $1.85 million for repairs to the Trocadero Clubhouse in Stern Grove was approved by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, although District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan criticized the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department for bungling the emergency bailout.
For 131 years, the building now known as the Trocadero Clubhouse in Sigmund Stern Grove hosted generations of San Franciscans. On March 11, it became the final resting place of an 85-foot-tall eucalyptus tree.
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department along with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) announced recently that repairs at Sigmund Stern Grove’s Concert Meadow are nearing completion and will be ready just in time for the 85th annual Stern Grove Festival. Additional repair work in other areas of Stern Grove will continue through summer of 2023, but will not affect the concert series.
Efforts are underway to give landmark status to one of San Francisco’s hidden jewels in a location that has featured predominantly in the City’s history for more than a hundred years.
Parkside and Sunset District residents have launched a campaign to designate the Trocadero Clubhouse in San Francisco’s Stern Grove a city landmark.
