Crocker Amazon,  known both as a playground and a park,  is a  host to numerous fields, tennis courts, three concrete bleachers structures and a recreation center. It is a regional hub for ground sports athletics, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, and softball. This is also an important facility for neighbors. The proposed improvements will include renovation of the baseball fields and related amenities and youth classroom space for an enrichment program.

This program will receive funding from the proposed 2020 Parks and Open Space G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

Located in an area where open space and recreation opportunities are limited, this facility is heavily used by children, seniors, and people who live and work in the SoMa neighborhood – which also happens to be one of the city’s fastest growing neighborhoods. REC collaborated with the Trust for Public Land on a feasibility study and concept plan, which replaces the existing facility with one that is 50% larger with an emphasis on increased visibility and security. The new facility would include two indoor basketball courts, three multi-purpose rooms, a larger exercise room, a new kitchen, a new playground, an outdoor basketball court, as well as new landscaping and other recreation amenities.

This project is expected to receive $25 million from Central SoMa impact fees and is a candidate for the proposed 2020 Parks and Open Space G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

The improvements at Herz Playground would build upon the renovations made as part of initiatives such as Let’s Play SF!, the nearby community garden, the new rain garden at Leland Avenue, as well as the new safe crossing at Visitacion Middle School.

This project is a candidate for the proposed 2020 Parks and Open Space G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

Located in the Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco, the 900 Innes property was acquired in 2014 for $3 million and is a brownfield that needs substantial remediation before park development. With an emphasis on access, social equity, waterfront recreation, sea level rise resiliency, and marsh and wetland habitat, the India Basin Project will give the community eight acres of waterfront open space. This project presents a unique opportunity to create a multitude of connections, such as uniting the historic boatyard of 900 Innes and the underutilized India Basin Shoreline Park into one park; completing 1.5 miles of accessible shoreline along the San Francisco Bay, linking to the Bay Trail and the Blue Greenway; and fostering better accessibility from the neighborhood.

The first phase, remediation, is expected to cost $11.5 million, funded by $9 million in grants, $1.25 million from the General Fund, and $600,000 from the Open Space Fund. REC is working to secure additional grant funding to close the funding gap for the remediation phase and move the full vision into design. This project is a candidate for partial funding from the proposed 2020 Parks and Open Space G.O. Bond, pending voter approval. REC will also pursue philanthropic resources and public grants to complete the project.

This project would replace the crumbling plaza surface at Japantown Peace Plaza and mitigate water intrusion from the subsurface garage. This critical public space supports local merchants, festivals with international appeal, and is a significant cultural resource. By working with key community groups, REC will develop a design that is contextually sensitive and culturally appropriate. The new design will create flexible open space for activities, eating, design-friendly elements suited to cultural performances, movie nights, and annual festivals.

This project is a candidate for the proposed 2020 Parks and Open Space G.O. Bond, pending voter approval. The City will also explore modified parking revenue as a source to support the project’s feasibility.

With a seating capacity of more than 5,000, Kezar Pavilion is a historic facility used for large sports events. Its aging infrastructure, high use demands, and seismic condition led to the need for a feasibility analysis. In 2013, an engineering study by Public Works found that Kezar Pavilion needs a seismic upgrade to ensure safety for staff and public use.

This project is in the conceptual planning phase and is a candidate for the Earthquake Safety Priority Facilities Program within the proposed 2020 ESER G.O. Bond, pending voter approval.

Neighborhood parks typically include a mix of facilities and amenities, such as playgrounds, courts, fields, clubhouses, restrooms, dog play areas, and so on.

The SFUSD has several long-standing seismic deficiencies and deferred maintenance needs. In addition, current demographic projections anticipate that SFUSD enrollment will grow by between 6,000 and 12,000 new students over the next 15 years, and this growth will require the expansion of current schools, as well as the possible construction of new schools. Also, the SFUSD plans to continue making improvements for greater building efficiency, sustainability, and education-minded design.

This wide range of projects will be funded primarily by the recently-approved $744 million 2016 SFUSD G.O. Bond, and a planned $1 billion G.O. Bond in FY2022. Other funding sources may include state grants, impact fees, and other local sources.
