| update.post | {'aid': '1516', 'url': 'https://sfrecpark.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1516', 'body': 'Today, Mayor London N. Breed announced the City of San Francisco will partner with KABOOM! in the national nonprofit’s five-year plan toward achieving playspace equity in 25 priority places across the United States. Through the initiative, KABOOM! and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department will lead an ambitious $10 million plan to address gaps in access to quality, nature-rich children’s playspaces in communities that disproportionately lack resources. The initiative, which also counts on the collaborative San Francisco Children & Nature , will be rolled out in two phases. Under the first phase, KABOOM! will lead a fundraising campaign with a goal of $2.5 million, with the City matching that amount, to improve four playgrounds located in the City’s Equity Zones—which are defined by the State of California as communities with a high concentration of one or more vulnerable population characteristics. Using Equity Zone metrics ensures the project supports closing disparities and improving quality of life for the most vulnerable communities. Other factors, such as lower access to nearby nature, facility condition, and cost estimate will also be taken into consideration when selecting which playspaces will be upgraded. The first four sites to undergo playspace transformation will include Silver Terrace Playground, Tenderloin Recreation Center, Randolph-Bright Mini Park, and Purple Playground in Crocker-Amazon. The launch of this phase marks the first step in the long-term plan to ensure every child in San Francisco has a nature-rich place to play in their community. Under the second phase of the initiative, KABOOM! will again lead a fundraising campaign with a goal of $2.5 million, with the City matching that amount, to improve four more playgrounds. Details on those sites will be announced at a future date. “The past three years have taught us just how important it is for our kids to play and experience being in nature,” said Mayor London Breed. “Our partnership with KABOOM! will help ensure that every child in the City has equitable access to safe and creative places where they can enjoy the outdoors, cultivate their imaginations, and connect with friends and community members.” Today’s announcement builds upon the City’s significant investment in equitable playspaces over the past decade, including $15.5 million allocation for playgrounds in the 2012 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks, $12 million in philanthropy through the LetsPlaySF! campaign, and $9 million earmarked for playgrounds in the 2020 Health and Recovery Bond. “Having access to the outdoors is vital to children’s development and sense of community,” said Rec and Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg. “Equity and access to the benefits of nature and creative play drive so many of our projects, and our partnership with KABOOM! will help us take it further by guaranteeing innovative playspaces for all San Francisco kids, no matter where they live.” San Francisco is the third city announced as a partner in the 25 in 5 Initiative to End Playspace Inequity. In April 2022, KABOOM! announced Baltimore as its inaugural partner, kicking off work with Baltimore City Recreation and Parks and Baltimore City Public Schools, with strong support from Mayor Brandon Scott. Together with KABOOM!, these committed partners will help drive resources for quality playspaces to the kids and communities that are too often denied opportunities to thrive. “As we double down on our commitment to ending playspace inequity, we also have the ability to make sure our kids can explore and build a stronger connection to nature in ways they haven’t had the opportunity to experience,” said KABOOM! CEO Lysa Ratliff. “We are grateful to bring partners and communities together in this way that allows us to achieve equity while also playing a role in protecting the planet, our most valuable resource.” Projects like these incorporate green infrastructure, such as using locally sourced natural materi…', 'title': 'SF Joins KABOOM! in National Effort to End Playspace Inequity', 'category': 'Press Releases', 'published': '2023-05-17'} | reported | 2026-07-31 | live |

Thank you KABOOM!, Silver Terrace Forever, SF Parks Alliance, and Kinderhaus for helping us promote this event. It was a great opportunity for us to come together and share ideas in the park! During the event we shared image boards , which offered neighbors an opportunity to share their design preferences and tell us how they use the space. We also received feedback from over 110 participants on our online survey. From those participants we learned that 85% bring children, ranging in ages from 2-12. The responses suggest that families prefer active equipment like climbing structures with slides and swings. There was also a preference for nature exploration, trees, and improved landscaping. Also, over the last few months, we have been actively fundraising and applying for grants in hopes to deliver even more amenities to the park, as a part of this renovation. We have some promising prospects, and we hope at some point to have good news to share. Wish us luck! Our next steps will be to identify the project budget and advance design efforts.Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to sharing more updates with you as the project progresses.
