SAN FRANCISCO The SkyStar Observation Wheel at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco has reopened and is a step closer to remaining in the park for another four years.
Although the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously Wednesday afternoon to extend the stay of a 150-foot-tall Ferris wheel at Golden Gate Park for four more years, two city supervisors said the decision still needs to be approved by the full Board of Supervisors.
The SkyStar Observation Wheel was installed last year as part of the park s 150th anniversary, just as the COVID-19 pandemic began. Although the wheel was able to open in the fall at limited capacity, a surge in cases halted operations after just five weeks.
