“Habitat, yes to birds, bees and pollinators!” “Reserve highest space for best views.” “I’d love to see a fully enclosed and partitioned dog park” “Water could be the unifying theme of the park: educationally throughout, a water feature for children, a part of the public art” “No light pollution, I hope that park lighting won’t block the night time views” “Community Garden!” “...wild and natural children’s playground, flowers to pick.”

Community Feedback

Feedback was recorded and incorporated in to the park concept design.

  • Quotes below are from the community engagement meetings and online community survey

(https://www.franciscopark.org/october-2016-survey/)

“This is a special space, requiring visionary plans and careful stewardship. It should be a model for an urban park in San Francisco, and feature as many sustainable aspects as possible.” “It would be great to add a good quality turf soccer field with lights . . . Better athletes, better people!”

FRANCISCO PARK COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETING #3 1/11/2017 | PAGE 34

Community Feedback

“I would like the history of the reservoir and education about how San Francisco gets its fresh water to be available.” “Soccer field focused on youth use is greatly needed! Kids & family life need more support in North Beach!” “What neighbors need is an area to congregate with their dogs and children, and an open space that can be shared by all.” “Anything that is dog friendly would be absolutely

  • amazing. There are no off leash dog areas in

North Beach, or north Russian Hill. It would be great to have a place to run my dog!.” “Please focus on providing clear views and vistas for ALL people” “Love green roofs and modern restrooms” “Sculptures reflecting the City’s multicultural heritage”
