Celebrating 15 years of Park Stewardship
Fifteen years ago NPC was a fledgling nonprofit founded by just eight grassroots park groups. Our vision was the same as we hold to now: To engage citizens in improving their public spaces.
Today, we celebrate many accomplishments and look forward to an even more fruitful future as we create a new park-serving organization – the San Francisco Parks Alliance.
NPC will be operating as the SF Parks Alliance starting Monday, October 3, 2011.
