The Trust for Public Land plans to begin renovation of the Potrero Hill Park (located near the tennis courts at 22nd & Arkansas) this March or April.
The renovation will include demolition of the old playground, removal of the asphalt path, and some of the trees and plants in the playground. Then the new playground will begin to take shape. By the end of the summer, the playground will be finished and ready for the neighborhood.
Improvements will include:
• Tot play area
• Play area for 5-12 year olds
• Swings
• Central Gathering Area
• Picnic Tables & BBQs
• Lawn
• Colorful, low planting
Once the park is built, TPL will host a celebration event with community involvement & entertainment.
For more information about the park or to volunteer contact Jennifer Worth at (415) 495-5660 x386 or jennifer.worth [at] tpl [dot] org.
This is really exciting news! Can’t wait to see it all done at the end of the summer.
Hi James,
This question is totally unrelated to your blog but I was hoping you could still help me out. I am building out a pretty exciting new website but have run into a wall in the design area. I need some help on the front end and was wondering if you could recommend a really good UI designer?
Regards,
Benny
I live near this site. Most of us on this street agree that Park and Rec. have turned our green park into a parking lot. This isn’t a “renovation, it’s a ruination.” Children will break bones and get scraped up worse than if they still had the lawn and deep sand to fall into. There isn’t any shade for family picnics. The “Water thingy” will get filled with MORE mosquito larve and will have to be permanently drained. What is the “Special” concrete paving for? Take it out and PLEASE plant a Redwood tree? All the shade is gone since they ripped out the 5 old pepper trees. This is a disaster! What is the resoning for the Hall of Science getting plantings on the roof for more breathable green matter and a perfectly great neighborhood park is completely paved over?
