Friends Of Kezar Triangle To Discuss Upkeep, Future Plans At Meeting TomorrowPhoto: Camden Avery/Hoodline

Tomorrow, January 29th from 6-7pm at the Circus Center (755 Frederick), Steve Schweigerdt of the San Francisco Parks Alliance will be hosting a meeting to help shape the future of Kezar Triangle.

You may recognize Kezar Triangle as the little green island tucked between Kezar Drive, Lincoln Way and Arguello, on the Sunset side of Kezar Stadium. The new, improved Kezar Triangle debuted last spring after an overhaul funded by a $500K grant from the David and Carla Crane Foundation. The vision for the new park includes public art and gardens, some of which are already in place.

According to the announcement from Friends of Kezar Triangle, this meeting's goals are to select new art installations, to plan events for the parks, and to set up a volunteer stewardship regimen for cleanup and planting, like that in place for the Panhandle (second Saturdays at 9am) or Alvord Lake (fourth Saturdays at 9am).

So if you want to be involved in shaping the future of Kezar Triangle, now's your chance.

Susan Strolis of the Friends of Alvord Lake also stated in an email to Hoodline that along with Robert Bakewell (from the Oak Woodlands Project) and Ted Loewenberg (from the Haight Ashbury Improvement Association), she was interested in exploring longer-term options for connecting Kezar Triangle to Alvord Lake and the Haight end of Golden Gate Park, specifically by way of a bicycle path linking it to the Panhandle.

The Triangle is currently accessible by bike path only by crossing JFK at Stanyan and following the Kezar Drive sidewalk, which is a pedestrian-and-bicycle shared thoroughfare. 

If you can't make it to tomorrow's meeting, we'll keep you posted on updates of Kezar Triangle's progress.
