Attached is your invitation to celebrate opening of the Shipyard 3 Trail on Saturday, May 26. This two-mile section of San Francisco Bay Trail has come to fruition after more than a decade of planning, design and construction involving the Port of Richmond, TRAC, Auto Warehousing Company and the San Francisco Bay Trail Project.

Following the 1 PM ribbon cutting ceremony, please join the two-mile walking and bicycling parade along the Shipyard 3 Trail visiting scenic overlooks with interpretive exhibits en route to the SS Red Oak Victory, which will have an open house with free tours. Complimentary light snacks and beverages will be served at the cafeteria building for historic Kaiser Shipyard 3 beginning at noon.

You may wish to combine the afternoon Shipyard 3 Trail festivities with the 10 AM Grand Opening of the new Visitor Education Center for Rosie the Riveter WWII/Home Front National Historical Park in the Oil House of the Ford Assembly Building located on the Bay Trail between Lucretia Edwards Park and Harbour Way South.  Stay tuned for details on this event.
