Wikimedia Commons · Alexwennerberg · CC0Mission Dolores Park recurs in park-renovation records. The 2008 Clean & Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond describes a 14.2-acre park spanning two large city blocks, with six tennis courts, a basketball court, a multi-use sports field, a children's playground and a clubhouse. A 1975 Open Space fund report allocates $70,000 for children's play apparatus. Controller park-score reports rate the park among the city's lowest — 74.6% in FY2008-09 and 67.5% in mid-FY2009-10 — and 1998 advisory-committee minutes weigh a $25,000 beautification and erosion-control request for its west end. The park is operated by the Recreation and Park Department (FY2025 budget line about $250M); a city contract with Race to Zero Waste for the 'Dolores Park Eco' project has paid $293,646.50.
