Ingleside Police Station

Ingleside Police Station stands inside Balboa Park, on Sergeant John Young Street — a 42,861-square-foot portion of the park's parcel, as the city's property register records it. A 1982 federal environmental statement for the Muni J Line connection describes the setting: between Havelock Street and Ocean Avenue lie Balboa Park, its swimming pool and the police station, with the Muni Metro Center and the Balboa Park BART station adjoining Ocean Avenue, and the park itself running to 27.5 acres. The station's ordinary life reaches the record through Police Commission minutes, which approve leaves of absence for officers posted here — including one in 1975 who took unpaid leave in order to campaign for a seat on the Board of Supervisors. The station is now being replaced. Clark Construction Group holds the Ingleside Police Station Replacement contract, agreed at $67,668,300, of which $284,506 had been paid when this record was taken — the ordinary shape of a large capital contract early in its life, where the city's commitment is made long before the money moves.
