Jackson Playground in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood is one step closer to a $48 million renovation after the state awarded $10 million to the project, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced Thursday.<\/p>\n
The funding, which requires approval from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, will help finance plans to transform the park with new playgrounds, a dedicated dog run, improved ballfields, a community garden, and an outdoor multi-use court, a press release said.<\/p>\n
The project also calls for rebuilding and expanding the park’s clubhouse by 1,850 square feet, adding a kitchen, restrooms and stage to support community programming, the Rec and Park said.
Sports viewing areas and other improvements are also planned.<\/p>\n
The renovation is a partnership between the Recreation and Park Department and Friends of Jackson Park, which has worked on the project since 2014 with input from neighborhood residents, businesses, and other community members.<\/p>\n
About $6 million remains to be raised to fully fund the project. Construction is expected to begin in late 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jackson Playground in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood is one step closer to a $48 million renovation after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[28986,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-485096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-local-impact-grants","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
