The Plane Has Landed
At long last, parents and children can rejoice. The jet plane has returned to Larsen
Playground. For years, Larsen was known as "the airplane park" in reference to the
decommissioned jet planes that served as play structures there from 1959 through
1993. The playground planes were highly visible to traffic along 19th Avenue, making
the park a well-known landmark for the neighborhood. A heavily used play site for
children for over 30 years, calls for replacing the jet at Larsen Playground began
almost with its removal in 1993.
The new Larsen Playground features a preschool play structure, disk swing, spinners,
and what is sure to be the star attraction, a sculpted replica of the old F-8 Crusader
jet that delighted neighborhood kids for many years.
Special thanks to Supervisor Katy Tang, Assessor-Recorder Carmen Chu, the SF Parks
Alliance and the Friends of Larsen Playground.

Mansell Streetscape Improvements Underway
A renovation project that will transform McLaren Park is underway as elected officials,
city agencies and neighbors joined together on November 22 to break ground on the
project. The Mansell Streetscape Improvement Project, a partnership between Rec
and Park, the SF County Transportation Authority, SFMTA and SF Public Works.
Bisecting John McLaren Park, Mansell Street provides an important east-west corridor
connecting Visitacion Valley to Sunnyside and the 280 Freeway. The project, based
off priorities of the community and the city, will greatly improve the connectivity,
safety, and natural integration of the street to the park, without compromising
the role of the corridor.
* Dedicate one side of the median for pedestrians and cyclists, and the other for
a two-lane roadway.
* New street paving, crosswalks, and clear lane markings.
* Bus stop improvements.
* Intersection treatments to calm traffic and increase pedestrian safety.
* Installation of native plantings and vegetated drainage swales.
* Installation of native landscaped medians.
* Better integration of the roadway to the park.
In attendance at the November 22 event were Supervisor John Avalos; Supervisor David
Campos; Supervisor Malia Cohen; Supervisor Scott Wiener; SF Public Works director
Mohammed Nuru; Rec Park GM Phil Ginsburg; SFCTA director Tilly Chang; SFMTA Board
Vice-Chair Cheryl Brinkman; members of the McLaren Park Collaborative; and the Burton
High School Band.
