1/ Salesforce transbay elevated park (our mini Hi-Line) is finally open and it is a masterpiece of public garden design 
The plantings reflect native California habitats and other Mediterranean climes
4/ there are climbing structures and reading libraries and an art cart for kids
5/ grownups also welcome
6/ there’s a tram to the street! (Also, elevators)
7/ since the buses aren’t running yet, neither is this fountain, but running along a big chunk of the park it will be so cool
8/ one upshot of the clusterfuck of the cracks and delayed opening is that the plantings are even more established. And they are gorgeous
9/ gardens and trees are the lungs of a city. More trees and reclaimed and elevated parks please!
12/ in a region full of walled garden tech campuses (ahem, @Apple) and fancy gardens for employees only (@twitter), good on @Salesforce for spending on a more communal space. More of this, please.
13/ public entities also paid for this, which is why it centers the public.
14/ there is also a games cart and giant Connect 4
15/ earthquakes?
16/ final pics/thoughts: as gardening and urban planning geek (amateur status only) this is a great thing
17/
