We're Giant Fans of Community Participation

We’re a grassroots group of San Francisco residents dedicated to enhancing an open and accessible park space that meets the needs of the community.

We’re trying hard to spread the news that San Francisco Recreation and Park is out to create a park that will be three-quarters blanketed with plastic turf. No one asked for this. This is a drastic change from the way the community wants to use the park, while also creating possible public health risks for those who don’t deserve it. We love our parks and our park employees who tend them, however, RPD management is determined to spread acres of plastic throughout the landscape instead of providing natural spaces for everyone to roam and recreate.

The vast, open setting and flat natural grass terrain of Crocker Amazon makes it an ideal setting to gather, exercise or chill for every type of user group of every physical ability. We agree, the park does need some upgrades and improvements and we’re willing to work with community groups, legislators, environmentalists, parent groups and park officials to get the kind of park the neighborhood deserves.

Tell the SF Rec & Park Commission and your Supervisor about the kind of park you want.
