Richmond Playground | Construction update January 2024

Rec Park Improvements | All Project Updates Posted on January 10, 2024

Hello neighbors! Since our last update at the end of November, construction work is making good progress. We’ve kicked off demolition, abatement, and renovation work on the restroom. Most of the old sand has been removed from the play area, and the site is being prepped for improvements to its irrigation lines and drainage. The new play equipment is being delivered to site and will be stored until it’s time for installation.

Please note that the multi-use court will be closed for the duration of the project, with the tennis and basketball courts remaining open and accessible via the 19th Avenue entrance. The project is anticipated to be completed in summer 2024.

The Richmond Playground Renovation will include new furnishings, upgrades to the public restrooms, accessibility improvements, and a complete makeover of the children’s play area. The project is part of the Let’sPlaySF! Initiative, a partnership between the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and the San Francisco Parks Alliance to transform 13 timeworn play areas across the City.
