NEIGHBORHOOD 311
Another Planet Entertainment and Superfly Presents, in association
with San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department and the City of
San Francisco are producing the 4th Annual Outside Lands Music & Arts
Festival in Golden Gate Park (Polo Field, Speedway, Marx & Lindley
Meadows) on Friday, August 12th - Sunday, August 14th, 2011. This
concert event helps benefit Golden Gate Park with a considerable portion
of ticket sales going directly to Rec & Park.
We are committed to mitigating the impact of the event in your neighborhood.
Below is information to help serve that purpose.
Again this year, we will have a Community Hotline to respond to any
issues that may affect you during the festival. The festival hotline
will be available from 10:00am – 11:00PM on the festival days.
The hotline number is 415-379-9063.
To help alleviate vehicle congestion in your neighborhood, we are strongly
encouraging patrons to take alternative means of transportation to
the festival, including MUNI, the Outside Lands shuttles, biking
or walking.
We will have 2 dedicated tow trucks and 1 Parking Control Officer on
each side of the Park to quickly respond to any blocked driveways
or any other parking issues related to the Festival.
We would like to make you aware of the following road closures due
to the event, so that you may plan accordingly. The following entrances
will be closed to the public from Thursday, August 11thth at 8:00PM
through Sunday, August 14th at 11:00pm:

The Fencing schedule is designed to close inaccessible park areas first,
leaving trails and meadows open to the public as long as possible.
The determination to close areas of the park is based on security
and safety concerns for both the public and working personnel.
