  • Supervisor Katy Tang
    NOVEMBER 2015 SUNSET · PARKSIDE SUPERVISOR KATY TANG MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERVISOR Larsen Playground We are excited to share with you that Larsen Playground will be re-opening this month, and we welcome you all to celebrate the return of its jet-inspired play structure with us! Many of those who grew up in San Francisco remember Larsen Park as the “airplane park,” in reference to the decommissioned jet that served as a play structure from 1959 through 1993. Thanks to the Friends of Larsen Playground (including Cammy Blackstone and Nano Visser), former District 4 Supervisor Carmen Chu, neighbors, and generous donors, we are proud to bring back one of San Francisco’s most missed landmarks in our district. We will be unveiling a sculpted replica of the F-8 Crusader jet to pay tribute to the great Larsen jet of the past – along with new playground features and new restrooms. Please bring your family to join us for the Larsen Playground Re-opening on Saturday, November 21, 2015 from 11:00AM-1:00PM at Larsen Playground (Vicente Street between 19th & 20th Avenue). For more information on the project, visit: www.sfrecpark.org/project/larsen-park-jet-playground Affordable Housing Bonus Program (AHBP) As San Francisco faces growing housing demands, it becomes increasingly important to preserve and protect our middle class working families. I recently co-sponsored legislation with Mayor Ed Lee to create a local Affordable Housing Bonus Program (AHBP). This program seeks to incentivize the development of affordable housing units throughout the City, including those that serve middle-income households and families needing 2-bedroom units.

  • Summary of a Survey of Childcare Providers Who Use City Park and Recreation Sites
    Summary of a Survey of Childcare Providers Who Use City Park and Recreation Sites During the summer of 2003, the San Francisco Childhood Lead Prevention Program sent a survey to 733 family childcare and childcare centers to determine which park and recreation sites were used by providers. Twenty six percent of providers (188 providers) responded to the survey. The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department matched this survey information with the status of potential lead hazards for each of the 91sites identified in the survey. All of these sites have been assessed by the Recreation and Park Department and were determined to be free of lead hazards at the time of the assessment or hazards were found and corrected except for the following sites: Bright and Randolph Mini Park Coleridge & Esmerelda Mini Park Golden Gate Park playgrounds Golden Gate Park Stowe Lake Boathouse Lincoln Park McCoppin Square Mountain Lake Park Noe Valley Courts Palou Phelps Mini Park Washington Square and Marini Allyne Park Head Street Mini Park (Brotherhood/ Head Mini) Candlestick Park Marina Green Tank Hill Washington/Hyde Mini Park All of these sites have been scheduled to be assessed beginning in July, 2004 and any lead hazards identified will be corrected. Please refer to the complete list of parks for more detailed information. Deteriorated paint may pose a risk to children’s health. Conditions at these facilities change over time. If you observe chipped, flaking, or peeling paint at any of the sites that you take children to, please report that to the Recreation and Park Department by calling 831-2780.
