I live in one of the apartments on the park, and I would very much like to keep the playground, since I see families with young children use it frequently during the day, and they help drive away the less savory elements from the park. I also agree that we should leave the space where the Farmer's Market is alone, since the Market has been great for the park. There might be space for a fenced in dog park on the other side of the park, though--near Morningside, abutting Lead, but I like some of the other suggestions more. Having concerts, movie screenings, and other community events in the park would be great in terms of encouraging positive change.
I would love to see more lighting in the park at night. I think having lights that come on at regular intervals might help discourage those who camp out in the park overnight. Having the sprinklers come on at random intervals in the middle of the night might help with that, too.

Jeanette, good point about the Farmers Market! Not too enticing for food sales. A great deal of time and money went into getting the playground equipment. Please leave it as is.
Will there continue to be a play ground where the kids can play? I don't have a dog either and enjoy the park as it is, except for the overnight guests.
Is the proposal to make the whole park a dog park? If so what about the Farmers Market?
I don't have a dog so I don't know what it takes to maintain a dog park. With all the cutbacks, will there be adequate funding to maintain the dog park? How do the residents who live in the condos right next to the park feel about the proposal? Will odor be a problem?
Hello Neighbors,
As many of you already know, Morningside Park in Upper Nob
Hill has on-going issues with unwanted activity in the park on a daily basis. At our public safety meeting in January, several
nearby residents once again spoke up about illegal drug activity,
public intoxication, and overnight “camping” in this park.
One suggestion to change the “culture of use” for the park would
be to include a fenced “dog park” area. I would like to get feedback from the
neighborhood as to whether or not you feel this is a viable option for this
particular park.
Thank you,
