SF Invites Residents to Dream Big with $6 Million for Community Park Projects
Dreaming of a more accessible trail, improved dog park amenities, or a new community garden at your local park? Residents now have a chance to turn those ideas into reality. Nominations are open for Rec and Park’s Community Opportunity Fund (COF), a program that supports community-driven park improvement projects across the city.
Through the program, residents can propose capital improvement projects that reflect what their neighborhoods want and need most. This funding round is supported by $6 million from the 2020 Health and Recovery Bond, reopening a program that has not offered a citywide application round in nearly a decade.
This year’s Community Opportunity Fund application process has been refreshed to be more streamlined and transparent, with a clear focus on parks in Environmental Justice Communities to help ensure investments reach neighborhoods with the greatest need. Learn more on how to get involved at the link below.
