Crocker Amazon is for everyone. Let’s keep it open, accessible and real.

San Francisco Recreation and Park Department is planning to convert Crocker Amazon to a suburban-style sports complex. Trees will be cut down and the lawns will be replaced with fake, toxic plastic grass, surrounded by metal fencing and blaring night lighting with limited access for the neighbors.

Let's keep it real.

Our vision is a natural setting for picnickers, farmer's markets, music, cricket, football, baseball, soccer, movie nights, birdwatching and kickball games. In other words a park for everyone — young and young at heart.

The Lorax Speaks for Our Park

I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees!
WE are all the voices beneath the leaves,
The whisper riding through the trees,
The shade that cools a child at play,
The breath this city wants to throw away?

They call it progress. I call it loss.
A living forest turned to cost.
Roots that held the earth in place,
Cut down for speed, for profit, for baseball space.

The trees remember every year—
Every laugh, every storm, every wet tear.
And when the last one hits the ground,
What kind of future have we found?

I speak for the trees of Crocker Park.
We cannot leave this place so dark.
For once the green is gone from view,
No money in the world can grow it anew.

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