Parks and Recreation Report 2003
Summary of a Survey of Childcare Providers Who Use City Park and Recreation Sites
During the summer of 2003, the San Francisco Childhood Lead Prevention Program sent a survey to 733 family childcare and childcare centers to determine which park and recreation sites were used by providers. Twenty six percent of providers (188 providers) responded to the survey.
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department matched this survey information with the status of potential lead hazards for each of the 91 sites identified in the survey. All of these sites have been assessed by the Recreation and Park Department and were determined to be free of lead hazards at the time of the assessment or hazards were found and corrected except for the following sites:
- Bright and Randolph Mini Park
- Coleridge & Esmerelda Mini Park
- Golden Gate Park playgrounds
- Golden Gate Park Stowe Lake Boathouse
- Lincoln Park
- McCoppin Square
- Mountain Lake Park
- Noe Valley Courts
- Palou Phelps Mini Park
- Washington Square and Marini
- Allyne Park
- Head Street Mini Park (Brotherhood/ Head Mini)
- Candlestick Park
- Marina Green
- Tank Hill
- Washington/Hyde Mini Park
All of these sites have been scheduled to be assessed beginning in July, 2004 and any lead hazards identified will be corrected. Please refer to the complete list of parks for more detailed information.
Deteriorated paint may pose a risk to children’s health. Conditions at these facilities change over time. If you observe chipped, flaking, or peeling paint at any of the sites that you take children to, please report that to the Recreation and Park Department by calling 831-2780.
Note: Eleven sites identified by providers in the survey were either sites not under Recreation and Park administration or were not able to be identified as Recreation and Park sites.
