TBOP Goals

Our Goals are:

Create a broad based coalition of neighborhood, area and citywide groups, and individuals, to effectively prevent privatization of our parks and recreation facilities and be able to influence recreation and parks policy.

Advocate for the establishment of a process of sufficient notification and opportunity to be heard prior to Recreation and Park Department staff and Recreation and Parks Commission decisions on major policy and projects.

Create a balance of power by changing the appointment of the Recreation and Parks Commission from exclusive mayoral appointments to that of 3-3-1 split appointments (3 by mayor, 3 by BOS, 1 mutually agreed upon).

Maintain and increase General Fund support for recreation and parks projects, programs and staff.

Advocate for the restoration of permanent recreation staff and programming.

Provide San Francisco residents, media, and park groups with information and various points of view on park projects and issues.

Work with community groups of varying points of view and seek common ground for unified advocacy or action.
