Panhandle Playground Project
Completed and Open to the Public November 2019!
Scope of Work
The renovation of the Panhandle Playground is part of Let’sPlaySF! Initiative, a partnership between the Recreation and Park Department and the San Francisco Parks Alliance that seeks to inspire creativity and play throughout the City.
In the coming years, 13 playgrounds prioritized for improvement by a citizen task force will have been reimagined and redesigned for this and future generations of San Francisco’s children.
