Parking in the neighborhood is limited, so we encourage guests to bike or take Muni.

The N-Judah, L-Taraval, and the 7, 18, 23 & 48 Muni bus lines all service the Hauntway.

Event Bike Parking will be provided at Judah and Taraval.

Baywheels Bike Share stations can be found at Lincoln & La Playa, and Lower Great Highway at Judah, Noriega, Quintara & Taraval.

The Hauntway will appear in Sunset Dunes between Judah and Taraval.

Take the Shuttle!

New this year! SF Rec and Park is running a special edition of the Golden Gate Shuttle for Hauntway guests. Watch this space for more information soon.

We are committed to a Hauntway that is accessible for everyone.

ADA-accessible ramps can be found leading to Sunset Dunes Judah, Lawton, Noriega, Pacheco, Rivera, & Taraval.

SFMTA has added a new blue curb parking space on the lower great highway at Taraval. There are white loading zones at Judah and Taraval as well.

There will be non-food treats offered at a number of trick or treat stations. We are sharing Teal Pumpkin Project resources and suggestions with station hosts. We are also sharing resources with station leads on hosting trick or treaters with autism.
