Turk-Hyde Mini Park Reopens
Turk-Hyde Mini Park, an oasis for preschoolers and their parents in the heart of
 the Tenderloin, re-opened on March 2 with updated play equipment and landscaping,
as well as a redesign to make the space more accessible and conducive to gatherings.
Mayor London N. Breed cut the ribbon opening the new park, along with District 6
 Supervisor Matt Haney, local nonprofit organizations, and community members.

The renovations were completed using $1 million allocated from the 2012 Clean and
Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, $500,000 from the 2019 Open Space Fund, and $700,000
from the City of San Francisco.

Turk-Hyde Mini Park is one of four parks serving the Tenderloin, and one of 33 total
parks in District 6.

Earth Shot Photo Exhibit on March 6
Stop by the Harvey Milk Photo Center (50 Scott Street) from March 6 to 27 for "Earth

systems are imperiled worldwide, with anthropogenic causes driving most of these
 changes.

Golden Gate Park to Welcome Five New Bison

comes courtesy of NBC Bay Area and features Golden Gate Park's new bison being released
into their home! The Golden Gate Park Bison Paddock is doubling in size, with the
addition of these five young female bison that will be introduced to the public 
during a special welcome ceremony on Saturday, April 4, 2020 as part of a parkwide
150th birthday celebration.

The 1-year-old animals arrived this past week in Golden Gate Park from the Northern
California ranch where they were born. After galloping out of their trailer and 
having a look around, they trotted over to a chain link fence separating them from
the paddock's five older residents, where both sides regarded each other with curiosity.
The youngsters will spend 30 days in their own pasture, separated from the current
bison herd, allowing them time to acclimate to their new surroundings and older 
siblings.

These are the first new bison added to the paddock in eight years and brings the
 total number of bison in the paddock to 10 females.

The bison were purchased through a $50,000 donation to the San Francisco Zoological
Society by Richard Blum, philanthropist, investment banker, and husband of Sen. 
Dianne Feinstein. The bison herd is cared for by staff from the San Francisco Zoo,
while Recreation and Parks Department gardeners maintain the enclosure.
