Friends of the Noe Valley Rec Center (FoNVRC) developed this web site (still under construction!) to help maintain the quality of our park through community outreach and organizing volunteers. On this site you can find general, Rec and Park-published information about the park such as programs or who to contact at the park. Additionally, you can sign up to volunteer with the FoNVRC or receive the newsletter, learn about upcoming events, or voice your concerns about a certain section of the park by contacting someone from the FoNVRC Stewardship Committee (or choose the Area of Interest to the left). Remember, this is a community-wide effort, this is your park. If you see anyone not respecting the facility or rules (such as dogs on the baseball field or kids carrying sand all over the playground), please remind them that the more we abuse the park, the harder it will be to enjoy it. Keeping a watchful eye and voicing your concerns to the community, to us and to Rec and Park is very helpful. Upcoming Events Join the Rec and Park Department for a Neighborhood Community Meeting: March 17th, 7-8 PM The Rec and Park Department is now offering quarterly meetings in each Neighborhood Service Area so that the public can become acquainted and discuss issues with key RPD staff members. The Upper Noe Rec Center is in "Neighborhood Service Area 5 (NSA5)" and our area's quarterly meeting is March 17th, 7-8 PM, hosted at Upper Noe Rec Center.
We recommend you attend these meetings for the opportunity to talk with the Park Section Supervisors who oversee gardening staff and help submit work orders for park repairs, the Custodial Section Supervisor, and the Recreation Section Supervisor. It is also likely that Rec and Park department will invite capital program staff on hand to talk about park projects (if applicable).

This meeting is part of a series of approximately 20 community workshops led by the Neighborhood Parks Council (NPC) and the City's Open Space Team. The works hops will solicit the public's vision and priorities for the future of open space in San Francisco. This community engagement process seeks to initiate creative thinking about key issues impacting existing and future open space in San Francisco neighborhoods. Community input will inform open space policy for the city of San Francisco. NPC also hopes to encourage participants to serve as advocates for quality open space in the city.
