Your weekly scoop on San Francisco parks
### Highlights, News & Announcements
### Stern Grove Playground Transformed into Tree House Village
Children and families in San Francisco's Sunset District now have a new reason to explore the outdoors with the reopening of the
Sigmund Stern Grove (https://t.e2ma.net/click/o9hz1j/wfcl20hc/odhl5u)
Playground (630 Sloat Boulevard) following
a major renovation (https://t.e2ma.net/click/o9hz1j/wfcl20hc/45hl5u).
Nestled among the majestic trees of Stern Grove just off Sloat Boulevard, a reimagined playground transports visitors into a woodland-inspired play village, complete with structures modeled after primitive treehouses. The new design, crafted with input from the community, invites kids to climb, explore, and engage in imaginative play surrounded by the park's natural beauty.
The renovation includes brand-new play equipment, such as tree-like towers, climbing nets, timber log features, and swings. The project also brings upgraded surfacing, improved pathways and lawn areas, and refreshed landscaping. Just north of the main playground, a new nature exploration zone promotes unstructured, outdoor discovery and a deeper connection to nature.
The project is part of Let'sPlaySF!, a public-private partnership that pairs public funds with private support to renovate 13 playgrounds chosen by a citizen task force. With the completion of Stern Grove Playground, 12 of the 13 sites have now been fully renovated by Rec and Park--bringing the City one step closer to its goal of ensuring every child, in every neighborhood, has access to safe, inclusive, and inspiring play spaces.
The $4.1 million revitalization of Stern Grove Playground, which began construction in August 2024, was made possible in large part thanks to generous contributions to Let'sPlaySF! from the Hellman Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, the Koret Foundation, San Franciscans for Sports and Recreation, the Lisa and John Pritzker Family Fund, Jackie and Joby Pritzker, and many others.

# Help Shape the Future of San Francisco Government
San Francisco government includes nearly 150 advisory boards and commissions.
Prop E, approved by the voters last November, created a task force to review the City's advisory boards and commissions and make recommendations to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors about opportunities to modify, consolidate, or eliminate them.
The Commission Streamlining Task Force is meeting now through the end of the year to develop these recommendations, and they want your feedback.
Here's what to know:
* The task force meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 1 p.m. in City Hall (1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place) in Room 408. Meetings are open to the public and streamed live on WebEx.
* You can learn when the task force will review and make recommendations on each advisory board or commission by going to the task force's website and clicking on the 'Planned Decision Calendar' in the Resources section.
* Submit written public comment to the task force by emailing commission.streamlining at sfgov.org (mailto:commission.streamlining at sfgov.org) prior to the meeting. Comments will be posted on the task force's website with contact information redacted. You can also give public comment live during the meeting, either in-person or on WebEx.
Together, we can improve the administration of good government and create a better-run San Francisco. For more information and other resources, click the link below.

### Coyote Pupping Season in our Parks
We're in the midst of coyote pupping season. While coyotes are generally wary of humans, parent coyotes may become territorial if you or your pet stumbles upon their den.
To foster a safe coexistence between yourself and our natural neighbors (https://t.e2ma.net/click/o9hz1j/wfcl20hc/gryl5u), please take the following precautions:
* Never feed coyotes or any wildlife
* Keep dogs on leashes in our parks, unless in a designated off-leash dog play area
* Only admire coyotes from a distance
If you encounter a coyote, slowly back away carrying any small children or pets. Do not run. You may also scare the coyote away by appearing large and making loud noises.
If you encounter a coyote or see someone putting out food for a coyote, report it to Animal Care and Control (ACC) at (415) 554-9400, or by email at noopener noreferrer (mailto:acc at sfgov.org).
For more information, visit ACC's coyote page at the link below.

### Mayor Lurie Unveils "Heart of the City" Directive to Accelerate SF's Economy
Mayor Daniel Lurie
recently announced a major initiative to accelerate the revitalization of San Francisco’s downtown (https://t.e2ma.net/click/o9hz1j/wfcl20hc/grqn5u), unveiling his "Heart of the City" executive directive. It puts in place the tools needed to turn San Francisco's downtown into a vibrant neighborhood where people live, work, play, and learn. This change will drive the city for years to come--because the ideas, innovation, and revenue that are generated downtown fund the services that keep the whole city running. Our
