San Francisco Public Works Annual Report - Fiscal Year 2017-18 | Page 61

Another jewel was added to the crown of park renovations in San Francisco with the reopening of the playfields
at West Sunset Playground, which also features a children’s playground, athletic courts, two baseball fields, a
softball field, four soccer fields, bleachers and a parking lot. West Sunset Playground, which was built in 1957, has
undergone periodic renovations, the last one in the 1980s. The recent overhaul includes fresh sod for the play fields,
improved lighting and irrigation systems, new bleacher seating and restrooms and other upgrades that meet today’s
ADA standards – changes to improve the experience for all visitors.
Public Works provided construction management and design services on the $13.6 million renovation of one of
the most popular recreation areas on the City’s west side. The project was funded by the voter-backed 2012 Clean
and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond. A joint venture of Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball Players
provided grant money to add a couple of batting cages.
