This is the third fallen tree on Columbus Avenue we've reported on in the past five months.

Neighbors angry about the closure of Vallejo for the Poets Plaza peppered Angela Alioto with questions on everything from traffic congestion to safety issues.

The program, spearheaded by Supervisor Eric Mar, is installing 100 drinking fountains and bottle fillers across the city.

Trees, shrubs and grasses are being planted, the rusted fence is being replaced, and a play structure is already up.

Named after a celebrated local poet, this park offers some of the best views in the city.

The 2.5-acre playground will boast updated landscaping, revamped play areas and more.

Neighbors again opposed the three-month closure of Vallejo between Columbus and Grant at a recent hearing, putting the timeline of the new Poets Plaza in question.

The tree was one of nine designated for removal in coming months due to safety concerns.

Rec & Parks will lead the Friends of Washington Square as they do plantings and cleanup at this tiny triangle of park from 9am–noon.

The reopening party from 11am–3pm November 14th will include RecPark's mobile recreation, Zumba, food trucks and a free swim at the North Beach Pool.

Neighborhood group Protect Coit Tower wants to ensure the tower's $1 million+ annual revenue is being put back into the murals and park.

Rec & Park is asking for lease changes that would provide more protection of Coit's murals, but also allow after-hours tours, food sales and more.

The anticipated reopening brought shrieks of joy from children on the new play equipment as neighbors greeted each other and talked.

Citing a lack of space for pooches to play in North Beach (and all of District 3), advocates are seeking a dog play area or dog park in Washington Square—or beyond.

Dog advocates said the recent meeting about the playground wasn't the right forum, but they hope to be included in further discussions about finding a dog play place.

After finding success in the Richmond and Sunset, cleanup efforts are shifting east.

Most of Washington Square Park will be off-limits this summer to allow for renovations aimed at reducing the site’s water usage.

A new weekly pop-up park in North Beach aims to provide a community gathering space while the neighborhood’s largest park is under renovation.

SF Rec & Park gave North Beach neighbors an early holiday surprise, completing work a few weeks ahead of schedule.

The park was shut down for six months in 2019 to overhaul its drainage system, but its main lawn is still having water problems.

Community members gathered Thursday to dedicate Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center's newly renovated Tina Keker Playground, a.k.a. the former TEL HI Playground.
