Race and Social Equity Statement We believe that parks and open space in San Francisco provides the opportunity to model equitable access for all.

With this belief, San Francisco became the first city in the United States for which 100% of its residents live within a ten-minute walk of a park. The Recreation and Park Department's goal is to close the gaps and improve equity and access to quality parks and open space, and recreation activities for historically marginalized communities.

We envision a department that proactively infuses racial and social equity in its internal operations. The City and County of San Francisco encourages women, minorities and persons with disabilities to apply.
