Portsmouth Square

Portsmouth Square, 花園角, is bounded by Kearny Street on the east, Washington Street on the north, Clay Street on the south and Walter U. Lum Place on the west, and covers 1.484 acres, or 64,627 square feet. Rec & Park's own advisory reads: "Portsmouth Square is now closed for renovation through mid-2028." Construction began on 10 June 2026 and the contractor is Swinerton Builders. Demolition of the pedestrian bridge over Kearny Street was completed on 14 August 2026. The rebuilt square is to carry a flexible outdoor event space with an elevated stage, an 8,500-square-foot community clubhouse with an assembly area and meeting rooms, a shade structure, and a consolidated playground with adult fitness equipment.
