As many of you know, the current playground is badly in need of restoration, repair, and enhancement. As part of the overall park renovation, the playground will be upgraded to replace outdated and unsafe playground equipment and also provide a ADA-compliant playground. 

However the cost of a high-standards playground in San Francisco will surpass the allocated amount, so we ask for your help. We are working to raise $600,000 in additional funds from the community by January 2012 to ensure that the playground is a unique and special environment that will encourage healthy and creative play for years to come.

Please help contribute to this effort by donating and spreading the word to other potential donors.  For more information on the renovation, including donor booklets, conceptual designs and our online donation form, and more, please visit our playground donation page.

"Dog Friends of Lafayette Park (DFOLP)" is inviting dog owners to join us for a discussion about the current and future dog policies in Lafayette Park. This will give all local dog owners a chance to have their voice heard before the first (of 3) official SF Recreation and Park Department public input meetings to plan the renovation of Lafayette Park, on April 22, 2010.

Local dog owners are invited to make suggestions on improving the park and park policies for the dogs, dog owners, as well as for other park users. Also invited to this meeting are board members of the Friends of Lafayette Park, Sally Stephens of SF Dog, and Marianne Bertuccelli, the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department's Neighborhood Service Area manager for the area that includes Lafayette Park.

What: Lafayette Park Dog Owners Meeting
When: Mon March 15th, 5-7 PM
Where: Stuart Hall High School, 1715 Octavia Street, Community Room
Important: This meeting is for humans only as Stuart Hall does not allow dogs on their premises.

We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the future of the park.

Share your vision for the future of the park! In February 2008, San Francisco voters approved a $185 million bond for park improvements. Lafayette Park was one of several SF Parks to be renovated by 2013 under this bond. Join the Friends of Lafayette Park and the San Francisco Parks Department to give your input, and help guide the future of the park!

What: Park Renovation Community Meeting
When: Thu Apr 22, 7-9 PM
Where: Stuart Hall High School, 1715 Octavia Street, Columbus Room (see map)

Planning for the $10-million dollar bond improvements for Lafayette park will begin this year! Please look out for an upcoming announcement on a community planning meeting for this important initiative which will shape the renovation of our park.
