Supervisor requests action plan and staffing to open Potrero del Sol and Rolph playgrounds before summer
Summary
A supervisor asked the Recreation and Parks Department for an action plan and staffing plan to ensure timely opening of Potrero del Sol Park and Rolph Playground so schoolchildren and community members can use facilities before summer break.
A supervisor told the Board of Supervisors on April 22 that community members are anxious about delays in opening Potrero del Sol Park and Rolph Playground and requested the Recreation and Parks Department provide a history of the delays and an action plan to ensure the parks open before local schools adjourn for the summer.
The supervisor said the skate park at Potrero del Sol is complete and that Buena Vista Elementary — which hosted many community meetings and helped secure grants for the project — expects community access before school ends. The speaker asked Recreation and Park staff to explain the construction delays, provide a staffing plan (the speaker said only two recreation directors had been assigned and that would not cover both a clubhouse and a skate park), and identify a target opening date, suggesting May 30 or June 6 as ideal dates for a community celebration.
The remarks were introduced during roll-call item introductions and were recorded as referred for follow-up; the excerpt did not include a formal motion vote or an immediate staff response in the record.
