Frontierland Park is a park in Pacifica, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. The park was built on a former-landfill and was named after a nearby closed theme park.

Frontierland Amusement Park

In the 1920s, 600 acres of the San Pedro Valley in present-day Pacifica were acquired by the wealthy Bernardi family of San Francisco through a syndicate arrangement.[1] In 1960, a portion of the valley was opened as Frontierland Park, a western-themed amusement park, which sought to capture an Old West atmosphere. The park included a man-made lake, camping zones, equestrian facilities, a roping arena, a square dancing platform, and a frontier-style hotel with chuck wagon amenities.[2] Frontierland provided activities like hayrides and stagecoach rides. At the time, the park was promoted as a "Disneyland-type asset to the Coastside" and attracted up to a thousand visitors on weekends.[1]

Present Day

The present-day Frontierland Park was built near the former amusement park, on the site of a former landfill.[2][3] In 2001, the City of Pacifica built the Friendship Playground.[4]

In September 2020, Pacifica added a new fitness court at Frontierland Park. Pacifica was selected as one of the 200 awardees to receive a $30,000 national grant from the National Fitness Campaign and $100,000 in local funding from the Roy Davies Trust.[5] In 2022, the City Council granted unanimous approval for a bike park project in lower Frontierland Park. The estimated cost of the project ranged from $750,000 to $1,550,000.[6]
