Wikimedia Commons · SFHistoryNerd · CC0John McLaren Park's record runs from its assembly to its upkeep. A 1954 plan for the location of parks lists it among the city's major parks at 330 acres and dates the City's decision to acquire the land to 1926; a 1954 Board of Supervisors journal records parcel purchases required for the park ($2,400, $700, $500 and less). A 1983 master plan sets out the park's development program. A 1996 recycled-water master plan EIR evaluates reservoir sites within the park, and 2000 citizens'-committee minutes weigh a proposed disc golf course. Controller park-score reports grade the park at 70.2 percent in FY2007-08 and 72.9 percent in FY2009-10. Operated by the Recreation and Park Department, whose FY2025 budget line totals about $250M.
