The Trust for Public Land has again lent their support to the Bayview Hunter's Point Community. Several years ago, The Trust for Public Land was instrumental in assisting the India Basin Community in revitalizing India Basin Shoreline Park. Through their support and community effort, India Basin Shoreline park has become a premiere park in our community located by the Shipyard on Evans/ Innes Avenue.
The Trust for Public Land has returned to our community to help once again. After being courted by the members of Parks 94124, the Trust for Public Land has committed again to this community in the form of grant writing and support. The Trust for Pubic land is writing a multi-million dollar grant to totally revitalize Sundial (Hilltop) Park. Hilltop Park which is fondly known as Sundial Park to the Hunter's Point Community is located in the heart of the hill and for nearly a decade the park has been missing a play structure and workable bathrooms. The lack of a play structure or any form of play equipment, decaying skateboard park and the faded Sundial are just a few major things that need to be addressed in this grant process.
With many of us remembering the park's glory days, the Sundial park was a premiere park in the community during the 80's and early 90's. It was definitely a focal point for residents that resided on the hill. Today, it is under used open space but with strong community stewardship and activation being ignited around the park, Hilltop has begun to received local attention again. Now it is our time as residents, community members and local stakeholders to assist in this grant writing process and give our voice to what we want to see as residents of the Hunter's Point Community and the greater Bayview Area. We can assist the Sundial (hilltop) Park in regaining its legacy and through strong partnership with San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, Parks 94124, Trust for Public Land and community members and stakeholders like yourself coming to the table and engaging in healthy and critical dialog around one of our most precious jewels, Hilltop Park revitalization vision can be limitless.
