Community Opens Additional Playground Space Project hosted another public opening of a playground in our neighborhood. This time, it was at the Mission Education Center (Kate Kennedy Elementary School) at 30th and Noe. Before we could even set up, a drizzle quickly turned into showers but that did not dampen the spirit or the initiative of the organizers or the volunteers that had gathered to help promote community building. Bustling inside, a flurry of activity quickly transformed the school’s cafeteria into a showcase for local organizations and merchants. Friends of the Noe Valley Recreation Center tabled with SF Rec & Park. Upper Noe Facilities Coordinator Cheryl Woltjen and Friends’ Joan Lionberger are pictured here passing out info, freebies and cheerful smiles. Our nearby neighbor and newly appointed Supervisor Jeff Sheehy stopped by with his family. As sponsor of this program, Supervisor Mark Farrell was present to announce the agreement made with Principal Carla Vasquez and SF Unified to make the school’s playground available to the public on weekends.

Despite severe pruning in December in anticipation of winter weather, San Francisco’s biggest storm of the season took a toll in January. Fortunately, damage was light. On the positive side, intense wind and rain has left the playground cleaner than ever. Gardens of Delight anticipation of spring. We are grateful that gardening staff is now dedicated to our park several days a week. Upper Noe has suffered through labor lapses over the past several years due to staffing shortages. Already, the results are striking, and especially noticeable along Day Street and Sanchez Street. Take a stroll and check out the park.
