The improvements at Lands End in San Francisco have included multiple construction phases. In the first phase, NaturalPAVE® XL Resin Pavement™ was placed along the long abandoned railroad grade constructed by Adolph Sutro in the 1880's to bring residents from downtown San Francisco out to his amusement park via steam trains and electric streetcars. This multi-purpose trail is known as the Lands End Coastal Trail, or the Lands End Promenade. The primary automobile parking lot and trail heads are located in an area known as Merrie Way, the former location of Sutro's historic amusement park. As part of the ongoing improvement program at Lands End, the Merrie Way area was upgraded with a new overlook and accessible trails and walkways paved with a NaturalPAVE XL Resin Pavement mix matching the pavement surfacing for the Lands End Coastal Trail just uphill from Merrie Way. The final phase of construction at Lands End includes a Visitor Center that will be operated by the National Park Service, providing visitor education services and programs including the history of the Ohlone Indians that occupied this site prior to the arrival of the Spanish and establishment of the Presidio of San Francisco.
