A $ 5.3 million renovation of Alamo Square Park makes the historic open-space gem in the Western Addition more environmentally sustainable , beautiful and accessible for all users .
The 12.7-acre park offers visitors an iconic view of the Painted Ladies , the row of Victorian houses located across Steiner Street with downtown San Francisco in the backdrop .
The park upgrades include a new water-saving irrigation system and new drought-tolerant landscaping . Together , the changes are expected to cut annual water usage by a third , or 2.5 million gallons . The makeover also includes ADA – accessible pathways and bathrooms .
The project was funded by voter-approved parks bonds and a water conservation grant from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission .
