Do you care about parks and gardens in Potrero? Complete the Green Spaces Survey today!

Do you want our neighborhood parks and gardens better maintained and improved?

A group of volunteer leaders from the Dogpatch Neighborhood Association (DNA) and the Potrero Boosters have joined together with UP Urban, a non-profit, to form a Green Benefit District (GBD) in our neighborhood. As part of this process we’re surveying the community about neighborhood green spaces, how you use them, how you’d like to see them maintained and/or improved, and your willingness to fund maintenance and/or improvements. The Green Spaces Survey is an important opportunity to share your priorities and opinions. Your feedback will ultimately be incorporated into a draft Green Management Plan that reflects our neighborhood’s shared vision and goals for parks and green space in Potrero Hill and Dogpatch.
