Since 1996, Neighborhood Parks Council (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. Our well-articulated mission and energetic agenda have inspired positive change within our city's parks.

We are deeply troubled by the continued vandalism of our precious park resources. As such, we are restating our commitment to a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and successful conviction of the person(s) responsible.
The reward has generously been offered by the San Francisco Parks Trust and the Friends of the Urban Forest.
On Thursday, August 19, Recreation and Park Department staff discovered three rose beds and a total of 36 rose bushes had been vandalized at the Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park. The bushes had been severely pruned, some to just a few inches high. The extent of the damage is still being determined.

City Parks Forums
Each election year, NPC hosts supervisorial candidate forums that focus specifically on park, recreation, and open space issues. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to learn more about each candidate's knowledge of and positions on these subjects.
“Ensuring that there is a strong voice for parks and open space at City Hall is paramount to the success of our neighborhood parks,” Meredith Thomas, NPC Executive Director explains. “It is through the work of dedicated community volunteers that our parks flourish as an oasis to our daily lives, but it is with the support of their supervisors that our parks can continue to thrive.”
