1) Glen Canyon Park Renovation Project
Glen Canyon Park is a 66.6-acre recreation area located off of Elk Street and O'Shaughessy Boulevards in the Glen Park District. Rich with a history that spans back to the 1850s, Glen Canyon Park has seen a myriad of uses ranging from Adolph Sutro's personal "Gum Tree Ranch"; to the Crocker Real Estate Company's mini-amusement park and picnic site; to an earthquake refugee camp. Not until 1992 did the park come into its current state as an official public recreation site operated and maintained by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. As part of the upcoming Park Renovation Project, a number of trees around the lower portion of Glen Canyon Park were posted with notices that the tree will be removed as part of the renovation.
this project includes a new larger children’s play area (almost double in size of the existing one), new tennis courts, improved park pathways and ADA access, an improved Elk Street entry and drop off zone, a new accessible restroom (which can be open when the Rec Center is closed), new landscaping –including 163 new trees, and new heating in the Rec Center.

2) Lafayette Park Improvements
San Francisco residents devoted over $10 million of the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond to improving Lafayette Park, one of Pacific Height's crown jewels. The goal is to ensure that future generations of San Franciscans will be able to enjoy the park's recreational offerings and appreciate its significance for years to come.
The project scope will include the repair and/or renovation of the restroom facilities, the children's play area, picnic area and courts; restoration of roads and pathways, upgrades to the infrastructure including lighting and irrigation, modifications to the site to remove barriers and improve accessibility, and overall reconditioning of the park landscape.
