Donate to support Triangle Park

Posted on December 27, 2020 by Matt Chamberlain

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
