PARKS AND COVID-19

INFO, RESOURCES

Our parks are here for you

An open letter: Black Lives Matter—here at the Parks Conservancy, on our public lands and across the nation. We condemn anti-Black racism. We are committed to the active work of being anti-racist. 

The GGNRA is a Site of Conscience, and we explore the racist history of this land to overcome it. And we honor Pride by exploring the injustices that helped foment San Francisco’s queer community.
