Herz Recreation Center in San Francisco Opens to the Public

Herz Recreation Center in San Francisco Opens to the Public

February 27, 2026

Amoroso is proud to have helped bring San Francisco's first ground-up recreation center in over 25 years to life.

The Herz Recreation Center serves the Sunnydale and Visitacion Valley communities and features an indoor basketball court, a multipurpose room for community events, an outdoor fitness plaza, and picnic areas.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the facility incorporates CLT roof panels and a hybrid system of mass-timber beams and structural steel. Visitors are also welcomed by an interactive public art installation that reinforces the center's role as a community hub.

This project is a powerful example of what collaboration can achieve—and we're honored to be part of something that will serve the community for generations to come.

 
 
"S. J. Amoroso worked hand in hand with Metro to truly form an excellent partnership and came up with creative ways to cut down the schedule and work on multiple stations concurrently. By carefully planning the work S. J. Amoroso was able to cut four months off the approved baseline schedule, reduce the impacts on our transit riders, and save Metro money in support costs… This project is viewed as an enormous success within Metro and will be looked at as an example for future projects on how to minimize the impacts to the public." Mat Antonelli, Director of Construction Management ~ Metro
