GM Phil Ginsburg Shares Some Exciting News About Your Parks

Dear Friends,

No doubt many of you have already heard the news, but last week, the Trust for Public
Land released a national study, ParkScore, concluding that San Francisco has the
 best urban park system in the country!  ParkScore rates city park systems on a 
scale of zero to five park benches.  We led the nation with 4.5 park benches. It
 is the most comprehensive park rating system ever developed and was designed to
 help local communities identify where new parks are needed most and which park 
improvements can deliver the greatest impact.

ParkScore ratings are based equally on three factors: Park accessibility, which 
measures the percentage of residents living within a 10-minute walk of a park (approximately
1/2-mile); Park size, which is based on a city's median park size and the percentage
of total city area dedicated to parks; and Services and investment, which combines
the number of playgrounds per 10,000 city residents and per capita park spending.
 San Francisco's score is reflective of our incredible open space assets stewarded
not just under the Mayor's leadership, but by our Federal and State partners as 
well.

While we all know there is still much work to be done and continued investment in
the operating and capital sides of our park system is critical, it is an important
to pause and reflect on how blessed we are to steward such an incredible park system.
 It is also an important moment to pause to acknowledge the strength of park partnerships
and shared vision.

I want to thank the Trust for Public Land not just for their incredible partnership
but for engaging in this important study.  For more information about ParkScore,
 visit http://ParkScore.TPL.org [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0015ThTIyuuUkXyLL3omE0fQaOicErF5UvJnqptDKU6XL8K8Y59-fy0EQbyDZt9QdR9yM_k0R_3ok6dgUwGliewbnaGfG27-0uNHu_bLuBl50CKEXuUVhsEGw==].

I encourage you to forward this email to your own networks.  It's a proud day for
everyone who loves their parks in San Francisco.
