Two new ADA-compliant garbage can receptacle covers were installed on February 9 near the Potomac Street entrance. Two more are scheduled for installation near the Steiner Street entrance to replace the existing plastic garbage cans. The concrete pad and fence needs be modified first.

The Dog Play Area is temporarily closed for its annual winter closure to give the turf time to rest, recover, reseed, and avoid damage from wet and heavy use. It will reopen on February 26. A cyclone fence now surrounds most of the Dog Play Area, leaving the areas outside of it available for off-leash dogs. The DPAs in Upper Douglas, Mission Dolores North Field, and St. Mary’s are also closed this winter.

Problems continue to plague the irrigation system, and repairs are underway to address them.

Three benches we have advocated for will soon be installed near the Pierce Street entrance to the park. The carpentry shop is currently preparing them for installation. The concrete pad for the benches was installed before the holidays.

Please report any maintenance issues in the park on the 311 app. Photos can be included.
