After almost exactly one year, Fulton Playground is now ready to re-open after a complete renovation.
The playground and clubhouse closed in November 2011 to undergo a $4.2 million renovation that includes a completely new playground, resurfacing of the basketball and tennis courts, and upgrades to the park’s Clubhouse. The park also showcases a unique, kinetic sculpture from artist Moto Ohtake.
On Tuesday, October 30 Rec & Park will host the official re-opening party at 11am. Stop by to checkout all the new structures, surfaces and renovated clubhouse. View event flyer
In an email inviting residents to the re-opening, SF Rec & Park Project Manager Paulina Araica thanked neighbors, many of whom participated in the planning of the new playground.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the neighboring residents on 27th and 28th Avenue for being supportive and understanding during the construction of the project,” Araica wrote.
It’s great to see another park being improved in the Richmond District! Next up is Cabrillo Playground which closed in June of this year for an overhaul. It’s scheduled to re-open in June 2013.

That is great! We used to play horse on the courts there.
From what I remember during the planning stage, Eric Mar’s office had a part in seeing it through. Thank you to both Rec and Park and Supervisor Mar for providing our neighborhood kids with a great new play space.
Thanks to Friends of Fulton Playground, the Rec and Park Dept Staff, DPW, Shalom School, Argonne Elementary School and all the neighbors for making today’s GRAND re-opening such a special one!
