SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco has a fresh-looking playground in Bernal Heights.
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department celebrated the reopening of the Bernal Heights Playground on Monday, unveiling a fresh-looking play space that cost $1.3 million.
The playground has new play structures and improved drainage and surfacing, according to the parks department.
“I am incredibly grateful for the renovation of such a beloved playground in Bernal Heights, now ready for families to congregate, play, and explore in such a fun and creative public space,” District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder said in a statement. “This was much needed improvement for the community.”

Construction began in August and was completed in record time, park officials said, because of what’s called a “cooperative purchasing framework,” which shortens playground planning and construction timelines from several years to just 12 to18 months.
