  • H. Parks, Recreation and Open Space
    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.

  • Performance Audit of the San Francisco Zoo Project Scope Methodology
    Performance Audit of the San Francisco Zoo INTRODUCTION The Budget Analyst of the City and County of San Francisco has performed this Performance Audit of the San Francisco Zoo (the “Zoo”) pursuant to direction received from the Board of Supervisors under the authority granted by Charter Section 2.114. Project Scope The scope of this performance audit included a comprehensive audit survey and selection of specific subject areas for detailed examination and analysis. The specific areas addressed in the performance audit are shown in the Table of Contents. Section 1.1 of the report, “Animal Management and Care,” is the most detailed, accounting for a little less than one-fifth of the entire report. Section 1.1 also includes an examination and evaluation of the animal care afforded the bison located in Golden Gate Park in a facility under the control of the Recreation and Park Department. Methodology This Performance Audit of the Zoo was performed in accordance with standards developed by the United States General Accounting Office, as published in Government Auditing Standards, 1994 Revision by the Comptroller General of the United States. Accordingly, this performance audit included the following basic elements in its planning and implementation: Entrance Conference: An entrance conference was conducted with the Zoo Director and management staff to discuss the performance audit scope, procedures, and protocol. Pre-Audit Survey: A pre-audit survey was conducted to familiarize the performance audit staff with the operations of the Zoo, interview upper management, and collect basic documentation regarding Zoo operations. As a result of the work completed as part of this pre-audit survey, areas of Zoo operations requiring additional review and analysis were identified.

  • 12 Short Histories of the Bison in Golden Gate Park 1 If You Walk
    “When we choose a plot to order our environmental stories we give them a unity that neither nature nor the past possesses.” -- William Cronon “We have had our historians, too, and they have held over the dark backward of time their divining rods and conjured out of it what they wanted.” --Van Wyk Brooks 12 Short Histories of the Bison in Golden Gate Park 1 If you walk westward through Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, along John F. Kennedy Drive, and walk past the Victorian cupcake of the arboretum, past the cement rectangle where people roller skate in short shorts to a staticky boombox, past the copper facade of the deYoung museum, past the waterfall, past the meadows where people gather for soccer matches and family reunions and Renaissance fairs, you will find the bison. The further away you move away from the park’s entrance, the more the manicured landscape surrounding the park’s main buildings buckles and dissolves into something more improvisational. The park’s eucalyptus trees, steadfast since they were first planted in their determination to kill every plant not themselves, let loose drifts of fragrant, acid leaves. The hand of gardner is undone by the hand of gopher and the smooth green turf laid down for the benefit of soccer leagues is pocked with busy holes ringed with coronas of freshly kicked dirt. And so you will have to look. It is not a landscape that invites lingering and the bison - or buffalo, which is taxonomically inaccurate but which it still somehow feels correct to call them - are easy to miss.
