Recreation and Parks 

The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department’s (RPD) mission is to provide enriching recreational activities, maintain beautiful parks, and preserve the environment for the well-being of our diverse community. With over 4,000 acres and 224 properties, RPD manages a large and diverse park system that provides recreation facilities and programs for all ages and interests of San Franciscans. Within San Francisco, its 3,400 acres make it one of the larger land managers within the City, providing outside access through mini-parks, playgrounds and recreation facilities, citywide parks, and open spaces.
