I have received hundreds of phone calls and letters from District 11 communities regarding the proposed Crocker Amazon Park renovation. I have heard from so many youth, elders, neighbors, park users, families, community organizations, and longtime residents of the Excelsior. Thank you for sharing your concerns and aspirations!
At this time, I cannot support the current proposal because it fails to address core elements of community feedback, including balancing natural grass with artificial turf, maximizing the mature tree canopy, clarifying park protocols, and upgrading the clubhouse.
In April, I requested our Mayor and the Recreation & Parks department to hold additional community workshops to ensure that we center the needs of District 11 communities, especially those who will be most impacted by this project. First and foremost, I am committed to honoring the process of community involvement in this project.
The Recreation & Parks Department recently summarized the feedback received, which I am sharing for review. It covers trees, circulation, amenities, gathering spaces, parking, dog parks, synthetic turf, and lighting and operations.
I am committed to ensuring that the community’s efforts lead to concrete improvements. I look forward to working with our community, Rec & Parks, the SF Giants, and the Mayor to achieve these goals.
