About Friends of Presidio Heights Playground

Friends of Presidio Heights Playground is a group of volunteers and private donors dedicated to the renovation of Presidio Heights Playground. The Playground is an historic San Francisco neighborhood park located on Clay Street between Walnut and Laurel Streets. It sits in a quiet residential area and is surrounded by two condominium buildings. The Playground is used by San Francisco residents of all ages including infants and toddlers with their caregivers; preschoolers affiliated with nearby schools; elementary school children through a city-sponsored latch-key program; and adult basketball players and sport court users. Currently, the playground

has limited greenery, outdated and non-code compliant play structures and an inefficient use of space. We have spent four years gathering community input, working closely with San Francisco's Recreation and Park Department and developing a detailed, city-approved plan. Park improvements will include: new state-of-the-art equipment, more green space and landscaping, a tree house, a nature nook, a picnic table grove, a new basketball court and new seating throughout.
