EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2012 San Francisco Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks In November 2012, 71.6% of voters approved Budget $M Proposition B for a $195 million General Obligation Neighborhood Parks Bond, known as the 2012 San Francisco Clean and Angelo J. Rossi Playground 8.2 Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond (the “bond”). This Balboa Park 7 Garfield Square 11 funding will continue a decade of investment in the George Christopher Playground 2.8 aging infrastructure of our park system. Specifically, Gilman Playground 1.8 the bond allocates: 12 Hyde & Turk Mini Park 1  $99 million for Neighborhood Parks, selected Joe DiMaggio Playground 5.5 Margaret S.

The sequence of projects Fisherman's Wharf Plaza 1.5 Northeast Wharf Plaza & Pier 27/29 Tip 17 has been adjusted to allow for project and site Agua Vista Park 2.5 readiness and the workload capacity of Recreation Crane Cove Park 8 Pier 70 Parks 2 and Park, Port, and Department of Public Works staff. Warm Water Cove Park 1.5 In January, the first Neighborhood Park, Joe DiMaggio Islais Creek Improvements 2 34.5 broke ground, and is scheduled to complete in TOTAL $195.0 December 2015. 4 more Neighborhood Parks will enter construction in 2015.

Bond Funding In collaboration with the Office of Public Finance, the first sale occurred in spring 2013, with proceeds appropriated to projects in June 2013. The 1st sale proceeds were reappropriated between projects in April 2015 to reallocate to projects to match the current spend down rate. The second sale is planned for late summer 2015, and the timing of the third and subsequent sale(s) is not yet known.

1

Proceeds from the first sale funds the planning and design of 6 Neighborhood parks, as well as the construction of 5 of those, and partially funds early planning on 5 additional Neighborhood parks. The Citywide Parks all received funding to begin planning and design work, and all of the Citywide Programs also have an allocation from the first issuance to commence planning, design, and construction of the initial projects. The 2012 Community Opportunity Fund continued the 2008 program, and the second round of applications was received in the beginning of April. Water Conservation work, matched with funding from the PUC, has begun at 3 parks, and the Failing Playgrounds, with its Task Force, has developed a list of prioritized parks throughout the city to receive 2012 Bond Funding. On the Waterfront, three project sites will have an allocation for planning and design, and one of those will also receive construction funding. The supplemental reappropriation has rebalanced cash among the Rec and Park projects and programs:

 15 Neighborhood parks  3 Citywide parks, and  5 Citywide programs

Program Management Activities As of March 31, 2015, 1 project is in construction, with 4 more to enter construction in 2015. Funding from the 1st Sale was reappropriated in Spring 2015. This action redistributed the budgetary allocation of the 1st sale proceeds between the 2012 Bond projects, and has delayed the need for a 2nd sale, while providing adequate funding for projects in the program. The 2nd sale is anticipated for late summer 2015 and staff are currently working with the office of Public Finance to determine the exact timing and size of this sale, and strategize future sales.

CITYWIDE PROGRAMS

The Citywide Programs’ goals, defined in more detail below, are determined by various citizen advisory or task force groups. Each program will have community outreach, collaboration with the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Advisory Committee (PROSAC) and review and approval by the RPD Commission in a regular public meeting to provide multiple opportunities for public participation.

Failing Playgrounds

The $15.5 million Failing Playgrounds program focuses on renovating, replacing, and remediating the most dilapidated of the over 170 playgrounds throughout the City. In 2014 a Task Force was appointed by the Recreation and Park Commission, including stakeholders from citywide open space organizations, the school district, children’s advocacy and parent organizations, and the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Advisory Committee (PROSAC).

In December 2014 the Task Force made its recommendations to the RPD Commission, prioritizing 13 playgrounds in 2 Tiers.

Tier 1  Alice Chalmers Tier 2 Playground*  Buchanan Street Mall  John McLaren Park  Golden Gate Heights (Group Picnic)* Park*  Merced Heights  Herz Playground Playground*  Juri Commons*  Panhandle  Richmond Playground* Playground*  Sgt. John Macaulay  Sigmund Stern Park* Recreation Grove*  Washington Square*  West Portal Playground*

The Parks Alliance (SFPA) and Recreation and Parks Department co‐hosted a Community Design Forum to set design goals for future playground renovations. Steve Cancian, of Shared Spaces facilitated the conversation on Feb 28th 2015. Approximately 50 members of the community participated in the forum; Nature Play and Risk Play were prioritized the highest by the Forum participants. Multigenerational play and Inclusive play were also considered high priority. RPD is developing a capital delivery strategy with schedule, which will be delivered to the RPD Commission late spring. There will be a community design process for each of the planned playground renovations (so mechanism to get community input). SFPA is entering into a feasibility study for a major philanthropic campaign for playgrounds, and we anticipate the study results in July.

CITYWIDE PROGRAMS

Forestry

The 2012 Bond allocates $4 million to improve the urban forest within the Rec and Park system. Trees are a critical element of San Francisco’s parks: cleaning the air, providing shelter to animals, contributing to the aesthetic character of each park. The Recreation and Park Department’s forest is estimated to contain well over 100,000 trees – most of which have not received assessment or attention since planting.

In 2010 RPD staff consulted with professional arborists and park stakeholders to develop a Tree Hazard Area Prioritization and Implementation Plan (the Plan) to guide the expenditure of bond funds. Accepted urban forest management techniques such as the hazard rating system were applied to park properties, identifying those parks, areas and trees most in need of tree repair.

The Plan relies upon tree hazard assessment and risk abatement principles, focusing on those trees which are deemed hazardous and nearby a high use area (e.g. playground, or major thoroughfare). Trees are not selected for removal based on their species or location, only due to the risk posed to life or property.

RPD staff will develop a capital plan based on the Tree Hazard Area Prioritization with scopes, budgets, and schedules to guide the allocation of this $4 million in Forestry program funds. This plan will be reviewed and approved by the RPD Commission prior to expenditure.

CITYWIDE PROGRAMS

Water Conservation

In 2009, the SF Public Utilities Commission conducted an audit of the highest water using parks and prepared the “Water Conservation Plan” to assess problems and recommend solutions. Many neighborhood parks operate with antiquated irrigation systems, installed with the original park development, that result in millions of gallons of water lost due to uneven spray coverage and leaking pipes. Most of these water‐wasting systems also require manual operation, which is labor intensive and inefficient.

The 2012 Park Bond funds $5 million in conservation measures. In collaboration with the PUC water conservation team and RPD operations staff, several sites throughout the park system have been prioritized and funded and work has begun to reduce waste, reclaim and recycle where possible, improve irrigation. An irrigation retrofit at Sharp Park Golf course has already been completed in the eastern portion of the golf course.

The PUC’s partnership includes grants which will expand the scope of the projects, and result in substantial long‐term water use reduction; project goals are up to 33% water‐use reduction post‐ renovation. The additional funding support will improve RPD’s ability to innovate and be site specific, replace antiquated irrigation systems with better designed and positioned to match the park’s unique topography. Water conservation projects improve staff efficiencies, by incorporating “smart” controllers and reducing the need for RPD staff. Alamo Square Park is currently in bid/award with construction to start in Summer 2015, North is in design, and the Moscone Recreation Center improvement is being planned.

All park planning and design is now done with an eye to water conservation, and include planting lawn alternatives where appropriate.

CITYWIDE PROGRAMS

Trails

The 2004 Recreation Assessment identified walking and biking trails as the #1 most desired amenity by San Francisco residents. The 2012 Bond funds will build on the success of the 2008 Bond program to improve access and opportunities to walk and hike, allowing residents to better enjoy and experience nature in San Francisco parks.

The 2012 Bond’s $4 million trails program shall be used to repair and reconstruct park nature trails, pathways, and connectivity in Golden Gate Park and John McLaren Park.

RPD staff, in consultation with PROSAC, trail building experts, and park stakeholders, will make recommendations on proposed trail projects to the Recreation and Park Commission for approval prior to the expenditure of these funds. After identification and development of specific projects, environmental review required under CEQA will be completed.

CITYWIDE PROGRAMS

Community Opportunity Fund (COF)

The COF program provides an opportunity for neighborhoods community groups and park partners to improve their parks by proposing projects and demonstrating their commitment by leveraging private gifts, volunteer time and additional public funding. The Community Opportunity Fund (COF) has three main policy goals:

 Foster community stewardship and improve RPD partnerships  Enhance park identity and experience  Leverage additional resources from the community

Established in the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, the COF has already leveraged an additional $13.7 million in donations, in kind resources, sweat equity, and philanthropic investment against the $5 million allocated within the 2008 bond. Previously funded projects include a playground in McLaren Park, renovation of the Sunnyside Conservatory, and the reimagining of LeConte Park to the Rolph D. House Community Park.

Encouraged by the success of this program, the Recreation and Park Department included an expansion of the Community Opportunity Fund, allocating $12 million from the 2012 San Francisco Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, with$6 million to be used to continue funding projects under the existing COF selection process. Round 4 was completed in Fall 2015 and the Rec and Park Commission approved the staff recommended Round 4 projects:

1. Hilltop Skate Park 2. Lake Merced – North Lake Dock Renovation 3. MLK‐Bayview Park Improvement Project 4. Tank Hill Trail Improvements 5. West Portal Playground

Round 5 was accepting applications as of March 31, 2015, and staff will be recommending projects to Commission in late Spring 2015.

With the remaining $6 million, the RPD Commission will establish a Partnership Projects fund. The Partnership Projects fund will support larger scale projects that have:

 Completed environmental review, as governed by the California Environmental Quality Act  Provided evidence of broad‐based community support  Obtained commitments of significant match in philanthropic funding against requested bond funds  Demonstrated consistency with existing department and city policy and capital planning documents

CITYWIDE PARKS

The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department cares for and stewards many of the city’s most beautiful and cherished landscapes. Each of these parks contributes immeasurably towards our quality of life in the city, and helps to define each neighborhood’s identity.

Our citywide serving parks, which include Golden Gate Park, McLaren Park, and Lake Merced Park, define the City of San Francisco’s special identity as an urban oasis that offers both the best urban amenities and convenient access to unique open spaces. Together, these three parks comprise almost 2,000 acres of open space, each with capital needs just as vast. Golden Gate Park alone is estimated to need over $500 million in capital investment to renovate and improve park features.

The 2012 Bond Citywide Parks program allocates $21 million for investment as follows: Golden Gate Park $9 million, McLaren Park (and those properties contiguous to it under the Recreation and Park Commission’s jurisdiction) $10 million, and Lake Merced Park $2 million. These funds can be used for capital improvements at these parks, and may include, but are not limited to, the following types of projects:

 Restoration of natural features, including lakes, meadows, and landscapes  Recreational Assets, such as playgrounds, playfields, courts, and picnic areas  Connectivity and Access, such as roads, pedestrian safety, paths, and trails

$6.5 million of funds allocated to Golden Gate Park, and $1.5 million of funds allocated to John McLaren Park, shall be allocated to projects that create or restore:

 Natural features, such as lakes, meadows, and landscapes  Habitat for the park's many species of plants and animals

RPD staff will make recommendations to PROSAC and the RPD Commission on a capital plan to guide expenditure of these funds. These recommendations will be informed by:

 Community process and outreach  Existing master plans and policy documents  Scoping by RPD capital staff  Overall project readiness
