Completed summer 2018. The project included a new restroom near the playground at 45th Avenue and Lincoln Avenue known affectionately as Boat Playground.
Completed February 2021. $2 million grant from the California Natural Resources Agency funded the renovation of Dog Training Area near the Bison Paddock.
San Francisco Lawn Bowling Green 1 was renovated to include a concrete edge/gutter, an accessible pathway around the green and a new gate and fence on north and south sides.
Completed September 2023. Replacing asphalt path that circles the perimeter of the lake, which has deteriorated and is in need of repair. The project’s design will keep the perimeter path in its current alignment to minimize impact on the overall site and the landscaping. Additionally, the site furnishings will be refurbished.
Completed February 2021. Renovation of the iconic tennis center, originally built in 1894, that has served as a place where players of every age and ability have learned, played, and competed.
