2014 SF Parks Alliance Impact Report • 1 Stewardship Our Park Partner program offers park groups fiscal sponsorship services as well as support in proposing, designing and implementing park projects. In 2014, we provided major support for three new park projects: Kezar Triangle in Golden Gate Park, Hidden Garden Steps in the Inner Sunset and Dogpatch Playground.

Kezar Triangle began with a donor and an idea: transforming a muddy stretch between Lincoln Way and Kezar Drive into an inviting meadow. With major funding from donor Carla Crane, the new Kezar Triangle— featuring auto- matic irrigation, native plantings, The Parks Alliance’s Steve Schweigerdt, donor Carla Crane and SF Recreation and Park’s Deputy Director of Partnerships a “Plot to Grow Abigail Maher worked closely together to bring the vision for a Art” and eco art new Kezar Triangle to life. installations contracted by SFPA and designed by Miller Company—has quickly become a favorite neighborhood gathering spot.

In Dogpatch, community leaders decided they were tired of being The Kezar site also features the “Wood Wave” the only neighborhood without a single playground, and vowed to sculpture carved from a single Monterey Cypress log by artist build one. The Parks Alliance helped them raise over $100,000 for Chuck Oaklander. the project and supported them in working with the San Francisco Metropolitan Transit Authority (SFMTA) to design and build the new play area at the Authority’s Woods Mini-Park in their neighborhood. The lovely littleDogpatch Playground designed by Groundworks Office opened in August 2014.

Hidden Garden Steps began after neighbors in the Inner Sunset noticed the beautiful tile work on a public stairway at 16th and Moraga (a previous project of the San Francisco Parks Alliance and the Golden Gate Heights Neighborhood Association). Their own stairway, at 16th and Kirkham Streets, was often covered with graffiti The Hidden Garden Steps. and didn’t feel safe to use. With fiscal sponsorship from the Parks Alliance and support from our Street Parks partnership with the Department of Public Works, the neighbors raised money from over 600 donors and designed a new tile project with artists Colette Crutcher and Aileen Barr.

The report found, not surprisingly, that San Francisco’s iconic parks and natural beauty generate a lot of tax revenues and business activity, approaching $1 billion each year. Park lovers have known for a long time that investing in building new parks and maintaining old ones is good for our City, and now we know just how good. The report proves that building and maintaining a flourishing park system is sound fiscal policy. To download a copy of the full report, visit our web site at www.sfparksalliance/ economicimpact

4 • 2014 SF Parks Alliance Impact Report Policy Policy research and advocacy is another key pillar of the Parks Alliance’s work. Our volunteer Park Policy Council meets monthly to research and advise the Parks Alliance Board on important legislative proposals and policy issues. Parks Alliance staff and Board members regularly meet with City leaders on issues involving parks funding, programming and acquisition.

2014 was a busy year for advocacy. The Parks Alliance strongly supported Supervisor Scott Wiener’s successful Clean Green and Safe budget proposal to increase funding for Park Patrol officers and urban forestry. We supported three acquisitions drawing from the Open Space Fund: the site of the Schlage Lock Factory in Visitacion Valley, Francisco Reservoir in Russian Hill and 900 Innes in India Basin (a key link in the Blue Greenway, discussed on page 6).

Parks Alliance staff, board and volunteers analyzed proposals, testified at Commission and Board of Supervisors hearings, and organized constituents to call, write and meet with Supervisors. Each of the acquisition proposals were unanimously passed by the Board of Supervisors, representing a total of $19 million in expenditures from the Open Space Fund over 12 years.

The Parks Alliance also co-chaired the Failing Playgrounds Task Force with the SF Recreation and Park Department. To assist the Task Force, the Parks Alliance and its volunteers re-assessed 33 play- grounds previously found to be failing basic standards of safety and maintenance.

2014 SF Parks Alliance Impact Report • 5 Blue Greenway The Parks Alliance, in collaboration with SPUR, has launched a two-year master planning process for the Blue Greenway. This process is the crucial next step in our vision for a network of trails, parks and Bay access points that would become the “Crissy Field of the Southeast.” The acquisition of 900 Innes will allow SF Recreation and Park, the Parks Alliance and other partners to work holistically on a plan to revitalize India Basin as a key link in the Blue Greenway.

Crane Cove, just south of The Ramp restaurant, is envisioned as a park featuring beach access and other recreational amenities being executed by the Port of San Francisco. The Crane Cove project is part of the larger Pier 70 redevelopment along the Blue Greenway.

In July, Mayor Ed Lee and City department heads attended a bus tour of the Blue Greenway. On the tour, Parks Alliance CEO Matt O’Grady explained the enormous potential of this project.

6 • 2014 SF Parks Alliance Impact Report Action Grants The Parks Alliance created Action Grants in 2013 to fund promising park projects in need of seed money to get established. In its second year, our Action Grant program generated 30 qualified applications. We distributed $3,000 Action Grants to each of eight projects, and donated $5,000 to Sutro Stewards in honor of Craig Dawson, our Volunteer of the Year. The Sutro Stewards, a Parks Alliance Park Partner, has improved both recreational access and habitat conservation in the Mt. Sutro open space. The program has made a tremendous impact, with over 5,000 hours donated annually to environmental stewardship and education. Craig Dawson, a native San Franciscan, the Executive Director of Sutro Stewards and our Volunteer of the Year, is a passionate spokesman for the program and can often be found leading groups on wildflower walks and other educational tours through the Mt. Sutro open space. In 2012 the Stewards founded the Native Plant Nursery. Its array of rare native plant seedlings has helped to establish new native plant colonies and discourage the spread of invasive species. www.sutrostewards.org

The Far Out West Community Garden got started when a group of Outer Sunset residents noticed their local church, St. Paul’s Presbyterian, had a vacant lot on 43rd Avenue it wasn’t using. The group approached the church and offered to improve the grounds if they could use some space for a community garden. This arrangement has created a new Park Partner group that cares for a thriving garden that produces food for the neighborhood, builds community, and offers an outdoor classroom space for youth.

Kids in Parks works with students at Herbert Hoover Middle School to educate them on habitat restoration to support the threatened Green Hairstreak butterfly. With the support of this Park Partner, students are removing invasive plants from Hawk Hill, the area behind the school, and replacing them with native plant food sources for the Green Hairstreak. Students have also constructed an outdoor classroom, new public trails and installed signage with information about the butterflies and their habitat. www.kidsinparks.org photo Paul Ritchie

Party for the Parks The annual Party for the Parks moved out of Golden Gate Park this past year, showcasing the Randall Museum in Corona Heights Park. Guests “raised the paddle” to benefit the museum’s coming Redwoods exhibit, as well as San Francisco Recreation and Park Department’s Creeks to Peaks Trail System linking Glen Canyon to Twin Peaks. Overall, the party raised $413,000 to benefit the Parks Alliance and the many park projects it supports.
