Text description provided by the architects. The existing 1958 clubhouse and playground at the intersection of Hayes and Buchanan Streets had become outdated and rundown. It also presented significant accessibility and safety issues for its diverse users. Because San Francisco’s Hayes Valley and Western Addition neighborhoods have few parks in the vicinity, the nonprofit Trust for Public Land (TPL) partnered with the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department to renovate the park. Reflecting TPL’s mission to create livable communities through land conservation in and around cities, the new playground and clubhouse provide this dense area with a safe, welcoming facility that fosters a shared appreciation for nature, outdoor activity, and social gathering.
