  • Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan Environmental Assessment
    1. Introduction The Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan and Environmental Assessment is a cooperative effort between the Presidio Trust (Trust), the National Park Service (NPS), and the Golden Gate National Parks Association (GGNPA). The Presidio Trust is a wholly- owned federal government corporation whose purposes are to preserve and enhance the Presidio as a national park, while at the same time ensuring that the Presidio becomes financially self-sufficient by 2013. The Trust assumed administrative jurisdiction over 80 percent of the Presidio on July 1, 1998, and the NPS retains jurisdiction over the coastal areas. The Trust is managed by a seven-person Board of Directors, on which a Department of Interior representative serves. NPS, in cooperation with the Trust, provides visitor services and interpretive and educational programs throughout the Presidio. The Trust is lead agency for environmental review and compliance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). GGNPA is administering project funds and coordinating phase one of the project. The San Francisco International Airport has provided $500,000 to fund the first phase of the Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan under the terms and conditions outlined within the Cooperative Agreement for the Restoration of Mountain Lake, 24 July 1998. The overall goal of the Mountain Lake Enhancement Plan is to improve the health of the lake and adjacent shoreline and terrestrial environments within the 14.25-acre Project Area. This document analyzes three site plan alternatives (Alternatives 1, 2, and 3) and a no action alternative. It is a project-level EA that is based upon the Presidio Trust Act and the 1994 General Management Plan Amendment for the Presidio of San Francisco (GMPA) prepared by the NPS, a planning document that provides guidelines regarding the management, use, and development of the Presidio.

    Building 201, Fort Mason, San Francisco, CA 94123 (415) 561-3000 www.parksconservancy.org 2 011 report to the community Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy dear park friends and supporters, Ten years ago, we celebrated the transformation of an old military airfield into a beloved national park. At the heart and soul of the Golden Gate National Parks, Crissy Field was created through the visionary leadership of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, the community members who contributed volunteer time and generous donations, and the efforts of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in support of the National Park Service (NPS). Since its grand reopening on May 6, 2001, that spectacular shoreline park has repaid us with billions of Mark Buell Greg Moore memories—made, kept, and cherished by 10 million visitors to Crissy Field. On the pages of our 2011 Report to the Community, you’ll meet just a few of them—and see the indelible impact, drawn across their smiles, of these wondrous parklands. By the beaming faces of visitors, volunteers, and staff, we are constantly reinvigorated to work on behalf of these parks, alongside our partners the NPS and Presidio Trust. By the growing diversity of our park community, we draw inspiration to ensure these natural, cultural, and historic resources are accessible to all. And by the contributions of our 12,750 members and the support of our park friends, we fulfill our mission of Parks For All Forever. In this report, we highlight our projects and programs at Crissy Field, Lands End, and Mori Point; along Redwood Creek; on Alcatraz; and throughout the Presidio and the Marin Headlands—among many more accomplishments across 80,600 acres of national parkland.

  • 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.
