Rec Park Improvements | All Project Updates Posted on January 07, 2022

On January 5 we reached a major milestone moving closer to the park opening when permanent power went live at Francisco Park. Final work is being done on the Children’s Play Area and Community Garden. During this time some final grading and planting is underway while the great lawn is being established. Stay tuned for an opening date soon!

About Us

The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department currently manages more than 230 parks, playgrounds and open spaces throughout San Francisco, including two outside city limits—Sharp Park in Pacifica and Camp Mather in the High Sierras. The system includes full-complex recreation centers, swimming pools, golf courses, sports fields and numerous small-to-medium-sized clubhouses that offer a variety of sports- and arts-related recreation programs for people of all ages. Included in the Department’s responsibilities are Golden Gate Park, Coit Tower, the Marina Yacht Harbor, the San Francisco Zoo and Lake Merced.

In 2017, San Francisco became the first city in the nation where all residents have access to a park within a 10-minute walk, a direct result of the Department’s commitment to increasing and improving parkland in the city. Learn More
