New Business to Open – Happy King, on King Street!

Signs are up for a brand-new business, Happy King Pizza, to open in 227 King Street. That’s the storefront belonging to Richo Sorro Commons that lost longtime tenant Nama Sushi last year. The sign notes Happy King has served pizza “since 2024.” A Yelp review page has already been set up for it, with no reviews yet because the new pizzeria is “Opening Soon.”

Women Warriors

The name of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) team that will be playing at the Chase Center beginning in May 2025 couldn’t be more appropriate. Golden State Valkyries!

In Norse mythology, Valkyries were beautiful, bold Women Warriors. Chase Center revealed the team’s sophisticated yet cool identity branding last Tuesday, with a graphic that explains all the trippy symbolism embedded in the logo.

The outer V-shape reinforces the “V” in Valkyries while symbolizing the unity of Valkyries in flight. In the

The Mission Rock Partners development team, a collaboration of the San Francisco Giants, Tishman Speyer and the Port of San Francisco, were joined by San Francisco Mayor London Breed on April 25 to mark the grand opening of China Basin Park, the new central gathering place and regional destination in the Mission Rock neighborhood.

Designed by leading landscape architecture and urban design practice SCAPE and built by general contractor Webcor, the five-acre waterfront site anchors the Mission Rock development just across from Oracle Park. The team has carved out space in the park for a wide range of programs, creating a new public amenity that connects and integrates the new neighborhood with the city.

A generous plaza sits at the heart of China Basin Park, capturing the energy of the park, Mission Rock neighborhood and surrounding communities. The plaza’s orientation and scale have been crafted to perfectly frame McCovey Cove, the Bay Bridge and the downtown skyline in a single view. An elevated grove lit by catenary lights is an ideal area for cultural events, fitness classes, music, art fairs and other programs, while dramatic stadium seats face the beloved Willie McCovey statue and Oracle Park, reflecting the energy of the stadium and Cove on game days.

A sculpted one-acre lawn provides flexibly programmed space for play and gathering. Gradually sloping down to the water, it also creates a natural amphitheater for movie nights and other events. The sand zone lining the shoreline at China Basin Park is a stretch designed to bring visitors closer to the waterfront and provide a place for gathering, relaxation and recreation.

“It’s thrilling to see China Basin Park open at the heart of the vibrant new Mission Rock neighborhood,” said Mayor Breed. “Where there was once a surface level parking lot, we now have new homes as well as office and retail spaces, and now this jewel of a park for residents, visitors, and Giants fans to enjoy. The extraordinary transformation of Mission Rock and China Basin is also critical in our work to expand our regional transit network, connecting Muni and Caltrain to the Bay Trail’s biking and walking paths along our Central Waterfront.”

“The Port is gratified to celebrate the opening of China Basin Park, an amazing new place for the public along our spectacular waterfront,” said Port Executive Director Elaine Forbes. “We are lucky for the hard work of our
