Roll up your sleeves and help us keep Ridge Lane beautiful. We are hosting our next community cleanup and would love to see you there. \nEvent Details\nDate: Sunday\, March 22nd\, 2026 \nTime: 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM \nLocation: Ridge Lane \nRidge Lane is located in the southern part of San Francisco\, specifically in the Oceanview/Ingleside neighborhood (District 11). The greenway itself is a transformed pedestrian corridor that runs along a former rail right-of-way. \nPrimary Access Point: The address associated with the lane is 1 Ridge Lane\, San Francisco\, CA 94112.\nPathway Details: It stretches between Howth Street and Sargent Street\, offering a landscaped walkway that connects local residents to public transit and neighborhood amenities. \nWhy the Early Start?\nWe have shifted our schedule to a 9:00 AM start to ensure even our busiest neighbors can participate before their Sunday plans begin. It is the perfect way to kick off your morning with some fresh air and community spirit. \nRefreshments Provided\nNo need to worry about fuel. We will have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand to keep your energy up while we work. Come for the cleanup\, stay for the treats\, and leave satisfied with a job well done. \nWe look forward to seeing the D11 community come together to keep our neighborhood shining. Jump in and let’s get to work! \n\nWhat is Ridge Lane\nRidge Lane is a city-owned street that runs from Josiah/Howth Avenue to San Jose. Bordering the neighborhood once known as Columbia Heights\, the path has been neglected and needs transformation so neighbors can use the space and navigate safely. \nWhat is Ridge Lane Neighbors?\nRidge Lane Neighbors (RLN) was formed in 2013 by a group of Ingleside Residents who came together to transform Ridge Lane into the beautiful walkway our neighborhood deserves. We consider Ridge Lane a neighborhood treasure that some of us live on directly\, and use daily to get to work\, walk the dog\, or stroll to admire the views of the Bay and San Bruno Mountain. \nVoted as SF Park Alliance’s “2017 Volunteers of the year\,” RLN has mobilized action on the lane and has seen the successful transformation of Parcel 1 (from Josiah/Howth Avenues to Margaret/Louisberg Avenues) and Parcel 4 (connecting Caine Avenue to San Miguel Avenue). Work on Parcels 2 and 3 (connecting Margaret/Louisberg Avenues to Caine Avenue) is in progress\, and the group continues to work toward transforming the lane into a beautiful\, safe path that can be enjoyed by the neighborhood. \nRidge Lane Neighbors URL:https://greeningprojects.org/event/ridge-lane-cleanup-day/ LOCATION:Ridge Lane\, 1 Ridge Lane\, San Francisco\, 94112\, United States CATEGORIES:Workday ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://greeningprojects.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Ridge-Lane-cleanup-day.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260321T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260321T120000 DTSTAMP:20260512T091644 CREATED:20260312T230435Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T230435Z UID:72813-1774087200-1774094400@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:The Friends of Kimbell Community Garden Workday DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Kimbell Community Garden Workday\nThe Friends of Kimbell Community Garden invite you to join us for a park cleanup day!  Please come wearing long pants and closed shoes.

Dedicated attention from surrounding neighbors has transformed the site into a community greenspace and pedestrian corridor serving the Alemany Farmers’ Market and nearby schools and shopping districts. \nWe completed our garden implementation in spring 2019 and celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 8 (see our news page). The San Francisco Chronicle calls our new garden “stunning\,” “gorgeous\,” and a “cheerful splash of public art that will probably become a photo hot spot.” \nIn addition\, San Francisco Beautiful honored us with the 2019 Placemaking Award for creating a sense of identity in a public space. We are grateful to Andre Rothblatt\, founding member of Tompkins Stairway Garden\, for our multicolored\, zigzag tile design\, inspired by the “Steps to Peace” painted by youth in the Syrian town of Deir Atiyah. Arterra Landscape Architects generously provided our landscape design. \nThe stairs link Tompkins Avenue between Nevada and Putnam Streets in the southeast area of Bernal Heights.

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;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250906T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250906T120000 DTSTAMP:20260512T091644 CREATED:20250825T164555Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T203301Z UID:72019-1757152800-1757160000@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:Tompkins Stairway Garden Work Day Sept 2025 DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Tompkins Stairway Garden from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Engage in rewarding activities such as weeding\, pruning\, and litter picking\, and help maintain this quaint piece of greenery in our beloved Bernal neighborhood! \nIf you often use these stairs to travel to or from the Alemany Farmers Market\, this is the perfect opportunity to help preserve their beauty. \nWe will provide work gloves and the necessary tools for the tasks at hand.

It looms over Division and 13th Streets and carves into the nexus of centrally-located neighborhoods and City districts. It is a significant hazard\, with several of the city’s most dangerous intersections underneath or part of the Central Freeway. Toxic vehicle and roadway particulates adversely affect nearby residents and workers. It blocks countless benefits\, like desperately needed new housing\, new transit opportunities\, and green space. Its vestigial infrastructure is a barrier to neighborhood connectivity. It must go. \n \nEnter Vision Blvd\, a grassroots San Francisco campaign that calls for the complete removal of the Central Freeway once and for all. We are a group of designers\, public school educators\, traffic engineers\, and community members who deeply care about San Francisco and want to see it reach its full potential\, but we can’t do this alone. \n \nFor the first time since the inception of Vision Blvd\, we are entering a phase of important fundraising that will help us accomplish our goals. Here are the two main areas of need we are looking to address: \n\nResearch and Studies: Vision Blvd will help sponsor studies centered on transportation\, housing\, environmental impacts\, and opportunities for green space along the 13th and Division Streets corridor. Professionals with deep expertise will conduct these studies and help us develop a proposal that satisfies all stakeholders\, looks to the future\, and addresses all community needs.\nEvents & Organization: Vision Blvd is currently a pro bono effort. However\, there are various costs\, like maintaining our digital resources and creating promotional materials. We will also host various events all over San Francisco to highlight our effort\, spread awareness\, gather community input\, and have fun. For example\, we will host a block party on June 1st\, requiring City permits\, campaign materials\, tables\, canopies\, entertainment\, food and drinks\, and many other resources.\n\n\nVision Boulevard Block Party URL:https://greeningprojects.org/event/vision-boulevard-block-party/ LOCATION:Elgin Park\, Elgin Park\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94103\, United States CATEGORIES:Fundraiser ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://greeningprojects.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Elgin-Park-Block-Party-Flyer_map.pdf END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240518T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240518T140000 DTSTAMP:20260512T091644 CREATED:20240517T230730Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240523T170709Z UID:71613-1716026400-1716040800@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:Green Space Celebration of Treat Avenue DESCRIPTION:Join Greening Projects and Terrain Studios on May 18\, 2024\, for the second Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat. \nGreening Projects and Terrain Studios will unveil a glimpse of Treat Avenue’s proposed future on May 18\, 2024\, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM\, during the second “Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat” at Treat Avenue and 16th Street in San Francisco. \nThe Fiesta is a series of activations supported by “Into the Streets SF\,” a non-profit founded in 2023 that funds neighborhood collaborations that reclaim and environmentally regenerate San Francisco’s streets. \n“We’re excited to showcase the neighborhood’s ideas about transforming this street into something that benefits the Eastern Mission and the environment\,” said Jorge Romero-Lozano\, founder of Greening Projects. This non-profit organization specializes in creating as much green space as feasible within our built environment. “We know the Mission lacks green spaces for families but is also unprepared for climate change. Residents and business owners have been fighting flooding in this area for more than 150 years. Greening unaccepted streets like Treat Avenue connects two goals: creating open space for residents and room for the historic waters of Mission Creek.” \nDuring the first Fiesta\, the landscape architecture firm Terrain Studio solicited ideas from nearby residents about what they’d like to see in the now-paved avenue stretch of Treat. \nAccording to Scott Slaney\, Principal of Terrain Studio\, the discussion about transforming Treat Avenue into an ecologically resilient space demonstrated that nearby residents strongly preferred community access and use. \n“Based on the wealth of community input received\, we’ve developed concepts guided by what residents think matters most: a simple\, easily accessible space that makes it easy to walk\, bike\, and gather in this part of the Mission\,” said Slaney. \nSlaney will share renderings of four conceptual alternatives for this stretch of Treat Avenue\, one of San Francisco’s 2\,000+ unaccepted streets. \nView the Presentation\n“We see this activation as compatible with SFPUC’s efforts to improve drainage of this area\,” said Slaney. “We know that any thoughtful re-design of Treat Avenue is a plan best achieved by taking our time to work with the neighborhood and the city.” \nBrought to you by: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Greening Projects\n \n \n \n \n \n Terrain Studio\n \n \n \n \n \n Into the Streets SF\n \n \n \n \n \n SF Planning\n \n \n \n \n \n SFOEWD\n \n \n \n \n \n SF Public Works\n \n \n \n \n \n Latin American Mission Mom’s Committee (LMMC)\n \n \n \n\nFiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat\nÚnase a Greening Projects y Terrain Studios el 18 de mayo de 2024 para la segunda Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat. \nGreening Projects y Terrain Studios darán un vistazo al futuro propuesto de la Avenida Treat el 18 de mayo de 2024\, de 10:00 a.m. a 2:00 p.m.\, durante la segunda “Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat” en la Avenida Treat y la calle 16 en San Francisco. \nLa Fiesta es una serie de activaciones apoyadas por “Into the Streets SF”\, una organización sin fines de lucro fundada en 2023 que financia colaboraciones vecinales que recuperan y regeneran ambientalmente las calles de San Francisco. \n“Estamos emocionados de mostrar las ideas del vecindario sobre transformar esta calle en algo que beneficie al Eastern Mission y al medio ambiente”\, dijo Jorge Romero-Lozano\, fundador de Greening Projects. Esta organización sin fines de lucro se especializa en crear el máximo espacio verde posible dentro de nuestro entorno construido. “Sabemos que a la Misión le faltan espacios verdes para las familias\, pero también está poco preparada para el cambio climático. Los residentes y propietarios de negocios han estado luchando contra las inundaciones en esta área durante más de 150 años. Reverdecer las calles no aceptadas como Treat Avenue conecta dos objetivos: crear espacio abierto para los residentes y espacio para las aguas históricas de Mission Creek”. \nDurante la primera Fiesta\, la firma de arquitectura paisajista Terrain Studio solicitó ideas a los residentes cercanos sobre lo que les gustaría ver en el tramo pavimentado actual de la avenida Treat. \nSegún Scott Slaney\, Director Principal de Terrain Studio\, la discusión sobre transformar la Avenida Treat en un espacio ecológicamente resistente demostró que los residentes cercanos preferían en gran medida el acceso y uso comunitarios. \n“Con base en la gran cantidad de aportes de la comunidad recibidos\, hemos desarrollado conceptos guiados por lo que los residentes creen que es más importante: un espacio sencillo y fácilmente accesible que facilite caminar\, andar en bicicleta y reunirse en esta parte de la Misión”\, dijo Slaney. \nSlaney compartirá representaciones de cuatro alternativas conceptuales para este tramo de la Avenida Treat\, una de las más de 2\,000 calles no aceptadas de San Francisco. \nVer la presentación\n“Vemos esta activación como compatible con los esfuerzos de SFPUC para mejorar el drenaje de esta área”\, dijo Slaney. “Sabemos que cualquier rediseño reflexivo de la Avenida Treat es un plan que se logra mejor tomándose el tiempo para trabajar con el vecindario y la ciudad”. \n  \n\n\n\nGreen Space Celebration of Treat Avenue URL:https://greeningprojects.org/event/green-space-celebration-of-treat-avenue/ LOCATION:Treat Avenue between 15th and Harrison Streets.\, Treat Avenue between 15th and Harrison Streets.\, San Francisco\, CA\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://greeningprojects.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/treat-rendering.png ORGANIZER;CN="Greening Projects":MAILTO:info@greeningprojects.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240323T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240323T140000 DTSTAMP:20260512T091644 CREATED:20240307T164058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240307T213239Z UID:71512-1711188000-1711202400@greeningprojects.org SUMMARY:Treat Avenue Greenspace Event DESCRIPTION:Fiesta del Espacio Verde de la Avenida Treat\nLes invitamos a un convivio en la Avenida Treat entre las Calles 15 y Harrison \nel sábado\, 23 de marzo 2024 de las 10 AM a 2 PM. \nEl propósito es visualizar un futuro cierre de calle permanente en esta cuadra para crear un espacio verde.
