New Mural at Laguna Honda Hospital

A new mural is being planned for Laguna Honda Hospital, starting at the corner of Woodside and Dewey Ave and extending 200 feet toward Portola Blvd.  We are seeking community input as to the design, under the broad theme, “Into the Future.”  We will be holding several online workshops in early to mid-April and would like to extend the opportunity to participate!  There will also be a community paint day in the summer, date and time TBD.  Please email deirdre@precitaeyes.org if you are interested.

Donate to support Triangle Park

GWPNA is currently collecting donations to support the renovation of Triangle Park.  Triangle Park is NOT maintained by the San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department, or DPW, instead it depends on the volunteer efforts of neighbors and residents who want to improve and maintain the small park located in Forest Hill Extension between Laguna Honda Blvd, Balceta Ave and Vasquez Ave. Your donation will be used for upkeep of the park as well as future enhancements such as seating, etc. 

You can make donations by check or online via the GWPNA PayPal secure donation site. Visit the donation page for more information: Triangle Park Donations
