For over fifty years, SF Parks Alliance has been advancing the interests of parks and public spaces, especially through its predecessor, the Neighborhood Parks Council.
Today, we continue this legacy of partnering with communities and public agencies to advocate for parks and public spaces that welcome and belong to everyone.
At SF Parks Alliance, we focus on citywide advocacy that supports…

Public Space Forum
We gave November 2022 candidates for District Supervisor the opportunity to complete our questionnaire and join a live discussion to explain their views on parks and public spaces in San Francisco. Learn about their stances on COVID- era public space programs, the biggest challenges facing SF parks, and more.
Parks on the Ballot
San Francisco parks and public space were on the ballot this November. Learn about the propositions we supported to ensure everyone has access to safe and welcoming public spaces, regardless of where they live in San Francisco.
JFK Promenade
SF Parks Alliance is committed to expanding the public realm and ensuring that San Francisco’s parks and public spaces welcome and belong to everyone. JFK Promenade achieves these goals by adding 1.5 miles of public space which has proven to be a safe space for many users to enjoy Golden Gate Park.
The People’s Slow Streets
Streets touch every neighborhood and every block, serving as the primary way in which we engage with the city. San Franciscans have the potential to create a sustainable citywide network that links communities, neighborhood amenities and public spaces. Slow Streets have proven to be an excellent starting point to doing so.
