About Ogden Ave Gardens
It is inspiring to see how a neglected stretch of asphalt can be transformed into a vibrant neighborhood asset. Reclaiming an abandoned street on Ogden Avenue between Folsom and Gates into the future home of Ogden Avenue Gardens is a powerful testament to community-led urban renewal. Bernal Heights will undoubtedly benefit from having another dedicated green space that prioritizes native plantings, pedestrian walkability, and local environmental stewardship.
A COMMUNITY PROJECT BY GREENING PROJECTS – BERNAL HEIGHTS, SAN FRANCISCO
We are neighbors working to transform a neglected, weed-strewn street into a children’s playground, a community gathering place, and a safe, comfortable place to wait for the bus.
The 400 block of Ogden Avenue (between Folsom and Gates) is an “unaccepted street”, meaning the city does not maintain it. It has no sidewalk. Yet it is a much-traveled pathway to the bus stop for local parents walking their toddlers to Ana’s Childcare and for neighbors walking their dogs.
