Candlestick Point is best known as the former home of Candlestick Park, once shared by the San Francisco 49ers and the San Francisco Giants. Since its 2015 demolition, the neighborhood has been slowly reinventing itself.
The stadium's final event came in August 2014, when Paul McCartney played a farewell show that doubled as a tribute to the Beatles' own final live concert, staged at Candlestick back in 1966. Demolition followed soon after, opening a new chapter for the neighborhood and the city.
That "clean slate" at the city's southeastern tip sat largely empty for the following decade, as one redevelopment plan after another stalled. In September 2026, developer FivePoint — spun off from the original developer, Lennar — finally broke ground on a revised 270-acre master plan for the site, with more than 7,200 homes along with offices, shops, and parks planned in total. The first phase lays infrastructure for roughly 675 homes, alongside renovations to the neighborhood's existing public housing.
Already well established, and a serious draw for future residents, are the neighborhood's green spaces. On the western edge, Bayview Park is known for its varied grassland habitat and plant and animal life. On the eastern edge sits Candlestick Point State Recreation Area — commonly just called Candlestick Point — a 170-acre former landfill that the California State Legislature purchased in 1973. It remains an active outdoor space today, with picnic areas, fishing piers, fitness courses, windsurfing, and hiking trails.
