Calling all parents....SFRPD is hosting its annual Eggstravaganza on April 13 at Robin Williams Meadow in Golden Gate Park on Saturday, April 13 from 11:00 to 3:00PM. This popular spring gathering will feature egg hunts, carnival rides, games, live entertainment, food trucks and the highly anticipated annual Rib Cook-Off between SF Rec and Park, SF Fire, SF Police and other City departments!
We hope our park supporters are enjoying the newly planted entrances -- Washington/Scott, Jackson/Scott, Jackson/Pierce and Jackson/Steiner -- the result of a $30,000 donation from the Friends of Alta Plaza Park.. Please help protect these new shrubs and plants so they may thrive. Keep them free of foot, bike and pet traffic.
On February 27, the SF Recreation & Parks crew installed a variety of plants as prescribed in the Alta Plaza Park Master Plan.
Our Clean & Green Day volunteers will participate in the Jackson/Pierce planting on Saturday, March 9, from 10:00AM to 1:00PM.
Please extend a warm welcome to Roberto Chavez, who comes to us after 12 years as head groundskeeper at Kezar Stadium. While highly experienced in turf maintenance, Roberto oversaw the extensive blooms at Pier 39 for 10 years and served the Hunter's Point neighborhood as well. And continuing to serve two days a week at Alta Plaza is Casey Dos Santos Allen, who also oversees Lafayette Park.
Roberto replaces Todd Sucy, who has returned to his previous park properties at the Japantown Peace Plaza and the Cottage Row Garden, which borders historic Victorians dating from the mid-1800's.
SFRPD apprentices augment the gardeners, and it is hoped that, with the increased maintenance requirements of our new entry way plantings, staffing levels will increase for the beautification of our 12 acre park.
