Can You Dig It? The Tenderloin Celebrates a Groundbreaking for a Renovated Park
For young Nedu Anibogu, the renovation of Boeddeker Park is something he and his
fellow students at City Academy in San Francisco's Tenderloin District have been
dreaming about for years. Just a block away from his school, Boeddeker is a sanctuary
of open space in the middle of a dense, busy and often hectic neighborhood.
Originally opened in 1985, Boeddeker has certainly seen better days, but thanks
to the Trust for Public Land, a variety of state grants, and the leadership of people
like Betty Traynor, the cofounder of the Friends of Boeddeker Park, the park and
its aging clubhouse are set for an $8.5 million renovation.
Senator Mark Leno, District 6 Supervisor Jane Kim and other city and state officials
joined residents and students in the Tenderloin District on Tuesday, November 13,
for a special groundbreaking ceremony hosted by the Trust for Public Land and Rec
and Park.
The new park design addresses community concerns, including improved safety, active
and passive recreation opportunities for all ages, and beautification elements.
The renovation will replace aging play equipment that is inaccessible and noncompliant
with the Americans with Disability Act, a clubhouse with significant visibility
issues, and a major lack of green space. The new park will also feature a full-size
basketball court, play area, fitness equipment, new large lawn, seating areas, gardening
beds and a brand new clubhouse.
Construction is expected to last approximately 18 months. For more information
on the project, click here [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001IrsD1HCDwdZa4CeykEmfxtvgGVEJt92yW7ruWkcBoUPC9pCttUYPJ-TSjw6DqpmFpeSyqj6-va9DsSgMsh8BuGhC_6pelMBG7_aMeW_KsmB1hkK7rMsiwG89FUb1kbCeA-BXOKp2GSjbQIRajdOLq1uRG_addM1aU1Nik7C4vLSx41dNvXml_l4dAnD155YsUzislxi8BvnzTjG-9je_0iqbSI7Wz795abDEabMN81LxYD9_dGAjBw==].
