RT @RecParkSF: Take a survey to help shape the future of the new outdoor recreation area at the Golden Gate Park Senior Center. For details….

This playground was completed in August 2024 as part of our Let’sPlaySF! Initiative with @sfrecpark to transform 13 of SF’s most timeworn playgrounds. This year we’re renovating the final two playgrounds: Stern Grove and Buchanan Street Mall.

The new playground includes upgrades and accessibility improvements to the public restrooms and park entrances, new planting, paving, and seating, and a complete renovation of the children’s play area🙌.
