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.

Our Impact by the Numbers
More than 30% of San Francisco is public space, including 350 parks. 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.
