A 1912 Board of Park Commissioners annual report requests $25,000 to construct the park's grounds after grading left them well above the sidewalk, and values the 36-acre park at $88,250. A 1975 Open Space fund report allocates $27,000 for children's play apparatus and $100,000 for Phase II rehabilitation and landscaping. A Recreation and Park capital plan carries a Buena Vista Park master-plan project and recounts the park's 1894 establishment, 1930s WPA rock walls, and a 1989 erosion-control plan. Operated by the Recreation and Park Department, whose FY2025 budget line totals about $250M; voter park-bond programs also list Buena Vista Park projects.

No city spending is recorded against this place by name. Voter-approved bond work is named here, but San Francisco reports those dollars by bond programme, never per site, so there is no amount to attribute to this place.
Run by the Recreation & Parks, whose whole-department budget is $250.4M across 2,161 staff (FY2025) — citywide, not this place’s own. The City does not publish a running cost per building.
