A broad, tiered staircase climbs the terraced southern slope of this steep hillside park; when you reach the top, you will find panoramic views of the City and Bay. Trees and benches crown the summit, while nearby are a children’s playground, a basketball court, tennis courts and an off-leash dog-play area.
FEATURED NEWS
Proclaiming that a steady downpour provides ideal conditions for plantings, a hearty team of seasoned SFRPD gardeners and apprentices tackled the Washington/Scott park entry to fill the barren expanses with an assortment of drought-tolerant greenery on January 15th. With our continuous rainfall, we can look forward to bountiful blooms this spring.
Subsequent northside entry plantings planned for February and March will be Jackson/Scott, Jackson/Steiner, and Jackson/Pierce. Our Clean & Green Day volunteers will participate in the Jackson/Pierce planting on Saturday, March 9, from 10:00AM to 1:00PM.
FEATURED EVENTS
Our Park Services Managers have dedicated a special area at the Jackson/Pierce entry for our next Clean & Green volunteer day on March 9th from 10:00AM-1:00PM. As the finishing touch to the northside irrigation project, we will work side-by-side with the RPD gardener team to install new plantings.
This volunteer activity is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors and enjoy continental breakfast. Tools and instruction are provided by the gardeners. Please meet at the children’s playground and wear sturdy shoes, a protective hat, and dress in comfortable layers.
