IV. Environmental Setting and Impacts H. Parks, Recreation and Open Space Environmental Setting The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department maintains more than 200 parks, playgrounds, and open spaces throughout the City. The City’s park system also includes 15 recreation centers, nine swimming pools, five golf courses as well as tennis courts, ball diamonds, athletic fields and basketball courts. The Recreation and Park Department manages the Marina Yacht Harbor, Candlestick (Monster) Park, the San Francisco Zoo, and the Lake Merced Complex. In total, the Department currently owns and manages roughly 3,380 acres of parkland and open space. Together with other city agencies and state and federal open space properties within the city, about 6,360 acres of recreational resources (a variety of parks, walkways, landscaped areas, recreational facilities, playing fields and unmaintained open areas) serve San Francisco.172 San Franciscans also benefit from the Bay Area regional open spaces system. Regional resources include public open spaces managed by the East Bay Regional Park District in Alameda and Contra Costa counties; the National Park Service in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties as well as state park and recreation areas throughout. In addition, thousands of acres of watershed and agricultural lands are preserved as open spaces by water and utility districts or in private ownership. The Bay Trail is a planned recreational corridor that, when complete, will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails. It will connect the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties, link 47 cities, and cross the major toll bridges in the region.

The 80,000-acre park encompasses a great diversity of cultural and natural resources in and around the Bay Area of San Francisco, California. It includes Muir Woods National Monument and Fort Point National Historic Site. The park holds almost five million three-dimensional and documentary artifacts dating from the time before European contact to the present. They are preserved and maintained for the public by the Division of Cultural Resources and Museum Management, which includes the Park Archives and Records Center (PARC). Park Archives and Records Center (PARC) Historical Note GGNRA and the sites within it have been collecting records since their inception. The PARC was established in 1994 to receive records and archival collections from the U.S. Army and the Presidio Army Museum after the closure of the Presidio of San Francisco as an Army base. The collections continue to grow through the donation of materials by private individuals, transfer of inactive park records by staff, and acquisition of relevant documentary materials. Scope of Collections The archival collections in the custody of the GGNRA document the history and activity of the various sites and groups associated with the park, described in the park’s Scope of Collection Statement (2009).

Golden Gate Park Since the 2010 ParkScan report was published, the Neighborhood Parks Council (NPC) and the San Fran- cisco Parks Trust (SFPT) merged to form the San Francisco Parks Alliance (SFPA). SFPA has established itself as San Francisco’s premier park advocacy and philanthropic authority, representing more than 120 park groups, over 50 strategic partner organizations and 4,000+ park volunteers. SFPA’s mission is to inspire and promote civic engagement and philanthropy to protect, sustain, and enrich San Francisco parks and green open spaces. Contents About ParkScan 1 Citywide Park Data 3 District Data 4 2010-2011 Charts 10 Conclusion 17 Authored by Weiser Manzano Photos by Steven Bowles, Anita Chordia and Chris Finch Alta Plaza (Cover) About ParkScan What is ParkScan? ParkScan is a website (parkscan.org) that enables San Francisco residents to easily report maintenance issues and improvements they observe in parks, trails and playgrounds to the appropriate City agencies that manage these spaces. The program is managed by the San Francisco Parks Alliance in partnership with the San Francisco Recre- ation and Park Department (RPD) and San Francisco’s 311 customer service center. ParkScan was launched through the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the E & W Haas Foundation, and RPD. Mountain Lake Park Benefits of ParkScan Mapping Capabilities and Photo Attachments ParkScan users can easily pinpoint the exact location of an issue on aerial maps as well as submit digital photos that clearly show the extent of a problem. Both features help City staff respond to observations more quickly and efficiently, saving valuable time and resources.
