About the Playground Initiative

The Playground Initiative

The Playground Initiative is a partnership between the Neighborhood Parks Council (NPC) and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department (RPD). The Initiative works towards ensuring that all children in San Francisco have access to a safe and engaging play space in their own neighborhood. By building strong partnerships with the community, elected officials and RPD, the Playground Initiative  ensures that playgrounds are valued, protected, and improved citywide.

The Initiative has received financial support from the Mimi and Peter Haas Fund, The Wells Fargo Foundation, The Morris Stulsaft Foundation, The Stanley S. Langendorf FoundationSF Beautiful and SolarCity.
