The renovation of Balboa Park, which is one of the most loved parks, the oldest park in
the city of San Francisco and now it's the newest park in the city of San Francisco.
Through our partnership with the Trust for Public Lands and because of public investment
from the 2008 Parks Bond, we are celebrating a renewal and an awakening of this park. We
have made this park safer, happier, healthier with more joyous.
Balboa Park is open for business!
Most of all, it's the greatest resource for families to stay in
this city and have fun in this city, recreation in this city.
This is an amazing park, it serves so many different needs and uses and we could not
have revitalized it without the combination of public and private investment.
The critical piece of the process of this renovation was that it was all about the community.
We went through meeting after meeting, reaching out to everyone in this community who love
this park dearly and they all had thoughts and ideas and they wanted to bring their own
creativity and their own needs and their own personality to bear on the design here. So
what you see is what the community really wanted. These ideas all came from the residents
of this community and so as a result, there is a sense of ownership, a sense of pride
and responsibility and stewardship that goes along with what is going to be a really exciting
and popular park.
