SF Rec & Park have issued an on-line survey to determine the future design of the 900 Innes Boatyard. To keep faith with India Basin’s industrial roots, we support preserving as much of the historical architecture as possible.
This Month
…and every month.
We meet on the first Saturday of each month at 9:00 am at the Storehouse on Galvez Ave right next to the entrance of the old Navy shipyard. Join us for a cup of coffee and help change the world… or at least the block.
The July meeting is set for 07/06/2019, from 9:00 to 11:00 am. All are welcome.

About Us
In response to PG&E’s plans to build a second power plant in our neighborhood, the Innes Avenue Coalition was formed in November, 1994. Two-years later in 1996, the Friends of India Basin came together as a park stewardship organization for the Shoreline Park. By 2000, the two groups merged to form the India Basin Neighborhood Association. Since then we have worked to keep what is great about India Basin, the natural beauty and open space, while embracing the growth and development that is inevitable in a jewel like San Francisco.
The history of India Basin is a curious combination of industry and open space, business and pleasure. The name India Basin first appeared on a map in 1868, but theories as to its origin remain murky. The Most Unexceptional guess is that India Basin is named for the ships from the India Rice Mill Company, which docked there in the 19th century. But we suspect that it was so named because the water from nearby springs would stay fresh until a ship reached India.
Oh, and that second PG&E power plant? Not only was it never built, but by 2006 the old one was torn down and removed as well. That’s the power of community.
