Over 50% of the land in the proposed 8 Washington project is dedicated to recreation and public open space.

The project includes two new open space areas: The Jackson Commons and Pacific Park. The Jackson Commons will re-connect Jackson Street to the Embarcadero, opening views and pedestrian access to and from the waterfront. The Pacific Waterfront Park will connect Pacific Street to the Embarcadero, creating a vibrant and active waterfront park, with stunning views of the Bay and Treasure Island.
