Car-free environments promote a healthy and active lifestyle because they offer space for exercise, according to Dr. Naomi Bardach, a member of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.
"Biking is a great way to get kids moving, and a great way to get families moving," Bardach said in a statement.
The car-free area begins at Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive and will continue along John F. Kennedy Drive to Transverse Drive from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The Bicycle Coalition will kick off Saturday's third annual Healthy Saturday program, which runs through September, with a potluck picnic and two-wheel bicycle training for children beginning at noon.
