Special thanks to all the volunteers that came out to help with the planting, and to the neighbors along the greenway who often volunteer their own time to care for the park. The goal is to have a clear path along the middle of the parkways from Fulton all the way to Lake Street. Thanks to all!” wrote one member of an online group of Park Presidio Boulevard neighbors. “This is the most optimistic I’ve felt about our neighborhood in a long time. The clearouts help eliminate many of the nooks and crannies where campers frequent, and for the first time in many years, neighbors along the greenbelt feel more safe and secure about their park. Just this past Friday, a large section of the greenbelt on the 600 block of 14th Avenue was finally cleared out. However in the past six months, SF Recreation & Parks has put more effort into clearing out the pathways of the park. Historically, the greenway becomes overgrown due to lack of maintenance, making it an ideal hiding place for unauthorized camping and loitering. The greenway along Park Presidio Boulevard has long been a source of frustration for residents due to its neglect. Nearby residents of the greenway, Rec & Park staff, as well as students from the University of San Francisco’s Psychology Department and the Student Conservation Association came out to help with the planting. The planting event put in new trees and shrubs along the Park Presidio greenway meant to help repopulate the barrier on the side that faces the roadway. This past Saturday, SF Recreation and Parks held a planting day on the 500 block of 14th Avenue, between Anza and Balboa. USF students helped clean and plant along the Park Presidio greenway on March 22.
