The goal is to transform the asphalt into a lush\, welcoming space for the community and to initiate a broader conversation about revitalizing the Rec Center. In light of the ongoing playground closure\, the blacktop will feature a new play amenity: a nature exploration area made entirely of fallen logs and other natural materials. This is an investment in the Rec Center that utilizes temporary materials to quickly pilot ideas for how this space can be used\, with the hope that through this process\, we can explore how this place can best serve the neighborhood. We invite neighbors to come experience the space\, helping to test and refine what’s there and how it’s arranged. Neighborhood feedback will help ensure that the space reflects the desires of the neighborhood.  \nWho is hosting this event?\nThe Green Street Fund is putting on the event in partnership with Greening Projects and the Civic Joy Fund.  \nWhat’s the deal with this space? Will this space be made permanent? \n\nThis is a temporary activation of the blacktop that features simple amenities\, including seating\, shade\, a kids’ play area\, and lush greenery.\nPart of the impetus for creating this space was the realization that the playground would be closed for several months\, and that our kids should still have a place to play.\nAnother contributing factor was the long-term investment in this space envisioned by Greening Projects. While that vision makes its way through the grant process\, this project can help test different layouts\, amenities\, and materials that will contribute to the long-term vision. \nBernal Heights is a special neighborhood and deserves a special place to bring neighbors together. The intention of this pop-up is to help envision what a town square could look like in Bernal Heights.\nBernal Heights is hilly and dense\, and this location—one of the few flat spots in the entire neighborhood—presented an opportunity to invest in the neighborhood’s public spaces. \nThis Pop-up Town Square enhances the blacktop with amenities to make it a more prominent part of the Cortland commercial corridor and a more useful community resource.     \nModernizing the Bernal Heights Rec Center is critical\, and the creation of this town square provides flexible space for the community and an added impetus to invest in the Rec Center. \nThis event is designed to initiate a broader conversation with the community about the future of this space and to engage our civic leaders in understanding the desires of the Bernal Heights community for its public spaces. \nThis iteration of the town square\, and any that may follow\, is part of an engagement process to assess how well the space serves the neighborhood and how different design elements resonate with the community.\n\nAre there any other spaces in SF like this? \n\nOther San Francisco neighborhoods have created similar small\, magical community gathering places:\n\nPatricia’s Green in Hayes Valley includes a picnic area with tables/benches\, rotating public art\, and a children’s play area. \nThe Noe Valley Town Square is a community hub that regularly hosts free events\, including yoga classes\, concerts\, story time with the SF Public Library\, and a farmers’ market. \nLakeside Landing is a gathering space at the entrance of the Lakeside Village commercial corridor. Its greenery\, seating\, stage\, and lights provide a space for the local community\, transforming what was once an underutilized parking lot into a hub for local art\, culture\, and community. \n\n\n\nI have concerns about this project. To whom should I reach out? \nLuke Spray: luke@civicjoyfund.org URL:https://greeningprojects.org/event/bernal-heights-pop-up-town-square-opening-party/ LOCATION:Bernal Heights Recreation Center Plaza\, 500 Moultrie St\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94110\, United States CATEGORIES:Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://greeningprojects.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/bernal-FINAL-v2-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Greening Projects":MAILTO:info@greeningprojects.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250904 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250906 DTSTAMP:20260506T105235 CREATED:20250826T230555Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250827T004725Z UID:72062-1756944000-1757116799@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:Help Build a Pop-Up Play Space and Town Square  DESCRIPTION:Help Build a Pop-Up Play Space and Town Square for Bernal Heights Kids!\nOn Thursday\, September 4\, and Friday\, September 5\, neighbors are coming together at the Bernal Heights Recreation Center Plaza to create a pop-up play space for local kids—and we’d love your help!
