  • Lake Merced (Spanish: Laguna de Merced) is a freshwater lake in the southwest corner of San Francisco, in the U.S. state of California. It is surrounded by three golf courses (the private Olympic Club and San Francisco Golf Club, and the public TPC Harding Park), as well as residential areas, Lowell High School, San Francisco State University, Lakeshore Alternative Elementary School, Stonestown Galleria, Fort Funston and the Pacific Ocean. The San Francisco Police Department shooting range, as well as a now closed skeet shooting club and the city's National Guard armory are also in the area. The lake was also the home of the Lake Merced Sailing Club, now closed, which provided training and racing for local sailors. Currently there is a sailing and paddling program operated by San Francisco State University.[1] The lake is home of the Pacific Rowing Club and St. Ignatius College Prep Rowing Team, both competitive rowing programs for San Francisco high school students. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has developed a safe eating advisory for Lake Merced based on levels of mercury found in fish caught from this water body. (en)

  • Il Lago Merced (in inglese Lake Merced) è un lago d'acqua dolce che si trova nell'angolo sud-ovest della città di San Francisco in California. È circondato da tre campi da golf e da aree residenziali. Nelle vicinanze si trova la San Francisco State University, la Lakeshore Alternative Elementary School, il Fort Funston e l'Oceano Pacifico. Il Lago Merced fu in origine battezzato con il nome di Laguna de Nuestra Señora de la Merced nel 1775 dal capitano ed esploratore Bruno de Heceta. (it)
  • Mercedsjön (engelska: Lake Merced) är en sötvattensjö belägen strax sydväst om San Francisco i den amerikanska delstaten Kalifornien. Sjön var från början känd under det spanska namnet Laguna de Nuestra Señora de la Merced, ett namn sjön fick 1775 av . Den 13 september 1859 möttes överdomaren och senatorn David C. Broderick i en duell vid sjön, något som slutade med Brodericks död tre dagar senare efter att han hade träffats av Terrys första skott. Den är omgivet av tre golfbanor , samt bostadsområden, San Francisco State University och den tidigare försvarsanläggningen . skjutbana, en skytteklubb och stadens nationalgardes arsenal finns också i området. Själva sjön är hem för två roddklubbar, och , båda två tävlingsklubbar för San Franciscos gymnasieelever. Sjön har ett tillflöde från en underjordisk källa och hade en gång i tiden ett utlopp till Stilla havet, något som visas på en karta från 1869. Saltnivåerna i sjön har alltid varierat, vilket har fått vissa fiskarter som lever i sjön att anpassa sig till både salt och sötvatten. Det sker ett aktivt fritidsfiske på sjön. Sjöns vattennivå krympte i årtionden, något som äventyrade den historiska roll Mercedsjön hade i att stödja ett sunt ekosystem. På grund av bättre hantering av akvifären och enstaka tillsatser av vatten, har sjöns vattennivå ökat sedan 1990. (sv)
