collaborated to revitalize the Franklin Square Park in San
Francisco’s Mission District. This underused park needed a
significant amount of attention to alter the existing small and
unsafe playground. The outcome expanded the playground
with tiered play areas conforming to the gentle landscape
slopes. The separation of older and younger play areas for
all the children while providing adequate seating make this
playground an vital gathering space for the community.

“ONE THE COOLEST PLAYGROUND I'VE
SEEN/PLAYED ON!!!
I wish I had one in my 'hood. Looks so
new. They also have a cool obstacle
course, a train, see-saw for 3 ...a cool slide
that took a few seconds to figure out.
MANNN I need to advocate for a park like
this in my neighborhood.”
