Washington & Scott Entryway

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.

Coyote Sightings

Much like the neighboring Presidio, we have seen an increase in the presence of coyotes in the area. Warning signs have been posted at the park and people are encouraged to keep their pets on a leash and leave the area if a coyote approaches. Coyotes are generally afraid of people and can usually be scared off by a shout or waving your arms.

If reporting a threatening wildlife situation, call San Francisco Animal Care and Control: 415-554-6364; e-mail ACC.dispatch@sfgov.org.
To report a non-emergency coyote sighting, e-mail the date, time, location and any other details of the sighting to: ACC@sfgov.org. SFACC maintains a data base of these tracking reports.

Over the last few months, there has been a major increase in vandalism, principally broken beer bottles and cans along with damaged playground equipment. And sadly, the newly installed donor recognition circle has been burned.

These incidents have been reported to SFPD Northern Station and SFRPD management. Supervisor Stefani's office has pledged support for increased police and SF Park Rangers patrols. We ask our park supporters to be vigilant as well. Here's how you can help:

If witnessing vandalism in progress, call the SFPD non-emergency phone number: 415-553-0123
If reporting evidence of vandalism, call San Francisco Park Rangers: 415-242 6390
If reporting a physical safety issue or hazardous situation in the park, call 311
