I love this city. San Francisco is all about expressing one’s self, celebrating who you are, what you stand for, where you come from, and where you are going. It’s why I moved here 10 years ago.
Painting in the Park
Dolores Park is THE place where all of this expression, freedom, individuality etc culminates into a beautiful setting – physically, spiritually, emotionally, and experientially.
Party Leftovers (MOOP)
I walked the park on Sunday with RPD and I’m so sad to say that the park is trashed. Everywhere, trash. It’s hard to see from a distance, but if you just look down, you’ll see all the cigarette butts, bottle caps, feathers, glitter, cups, ice cream sticks, napkins, lighters, tagging, broken glass, cans, orange peels, straws, baggies, bottles…
As an organization, we are acting as an intermediary between the city, RPD, NIMBYS and park goers to preserve the ability to have fun in Dolores Park and express yourself in any way you want. So I beg you, could we, as citizens of this great city, please take more pride in our park and how we leave it when we are done celebrating each magical moment?
Drink, smoke, get high, sleep, picnic, sell your beer/food/ice cream, whatever, but please please please – LEAVE NO TRACE. Take your stuff home with you when you leave. Pretty please with a Maker’s Mark infused cherry on top?
AND join us for clean ups of the “fun” people leave behind for others on July 5, 11, 25 and August 8.
