How are the San Francisco Neighborhood Parks kept so green & clean?

Who is fighting to insure safe park environments within the city of San Francisco?

Neighborhood Parks Council

C.E.O. Meredith Thomas

“Revitalizing Communities, Park by Park”

Meredith believes that collaboration between park advocates and the City is essential for driving improvement and maintaining high standards for our neighborhood parks.

Meredith is excited to lead NPC’s efforts to leverage volunteerism and community-driven park improvements in addition to partnering with the City to implement innovative park financing tools, ensure long-term open space planning accounts for increased density and prioritizes parks, and to help realize the Blue Greenway.

Meredith has been an active participant on the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond since June of 2007, providing input on the development of the bond, hosting community meetings prior to the passage of the bond to facilitate voter discussions with RPD, and now sits on the Opportunity Fund Task Force, Restroom Task Force, Trails Working Group, and is providing input on the Forestry portion of the bond. Under her direction, NPC is also tracking planning and design for the neighborhood parks with dedicated funding, and will continue to host public discussions related to the bond in conjunction with RPD.

Neighborhood Parks Council

Neighborhood Parks Council (NPC) advocates for a superior, equitable and sustainable park and recreation system. NPC provides leadership and support to park users through community-driven stewardship, education, planning and research.

Since 1996, NPC has established itself as San Francisco’s premier park advocacy authority, representing more than 100 park groups, over 50 strategic partner organizations, and 4,000+ park volunteers.
