7 playgrounds upgraded through community volunteer work with NPC and RPD!
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 enagaging 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 2008 phase of the initiative focused on upgrading 11 of the 26 playgrounds that were identified as "failing" in the 2008 NPC Playground Report Card. The Reassessment Report discusses the results of playground improvements conducted at 11 sites identified as failing in April of 2008 and includes the grades for the 11 sites as reassessed in November of 2008. Of the 11 playgrounds, 7 improved in grade.
