Power of Public Space

San Francisco Parks Alliance champions, transforms, and activates parks and public spaces throughout our city through innovative partnerships with community groups, city government and local business. We believe that building these partnerships to support parks and open spaces leads to stronger, more cohesive communities, greater physical and mental wellness, and a more sustainable, equitable urban environment.

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization that for 50 years has supported parks and open space in San Francisco.

The City’s 880,000 residents and millions of tourists rely on these spaces to provide everything from relaxation, to exercise, to community. In turn, these parks and their stewards rely on us to provide critical support for all of the activities that make a public space into a personal one.

We support 12,000 Stewards, Volunteers, and Community builders  with programming that builds capacity and community.

100,000 Neighbors

Our services reach over 100,000 people annually, via direct programming and through the efforts of our fiscally-sponsored partners.

$100 Million

With the support of neighbors like you, since our founding $100 million has been dedicated to improve our parks and open spaces.
