Topic: Dolores Park


  
  Dolores Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dolores Park is located on the edges of both The Castro and Noe Valley neighborhoods, west of The Mission District, in an area sometimes referred to as "Dolores Heights." Dolores Park is two blocks tall by one block wide, based on the configuration of north-south and east-west blocks in that part of San Francisco.
Dolores Park is named after the Mission San Francisco Dolores, established by Spanish missionaries in 1776.
The park was home to many drug dealers in the 1980s and during much of the 1990s, and at that time was considered relatively unsafe at night, but drug dealing is no longer a major problem there.

 Mission Dolores Park   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Mission Dolores is a Cinderella story for a sizeable park in the hyper-dense Mission District.
Unfortunately, Dolores Park has spent most of its lifetime 'in decline.' It has a history of poor facility maintenance, and drug dealing has kept it from feeling safe, especially after dark.
Working with the Friends of Dolores Park, the Dolores Heights Improvement Club, the San Francisco Youth Commission, the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners, the Neighborhood Parks Council, and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, the park has been 'magically' transformed into an excellent, pleasant open space environment.

 Dolores officials seek transfer of park
In 1977 the land, which sits adjacent to the Dolores River, was purchased by the Bureau of Reclamation and leveled with fill dirt as part of the McPhee Dam Project.
Because the park is owned by the Forest Service, however, any improvements that the town wants to make must first be cleared by the federal government.
Proponents of the proposal to transfer the park to the town claim that the $400,000 the town has already invested into the park should be sufficient, said Mate.

 Winter Light: Walking Around Dolores Park
The park's palm trees, their fan-shaped fronds, make louver-patterned shadows--pushed open and shut in the winter breeze--to offer illuminated saw-toothed laths of light that scale downward across the eastern slope's shiny green grass.
The Dolores Park Café is situated on the southeast corner of Dolores and 18th streets.
Perhaps it's the great light that feeds in from the park, as well as the northern windows, but once you've gone inside, there is an inherent reflective quality to sitting at a table.

We love the idea of seeing movies in the park and couldn't think of a movie more perfect for such a showing.
But as soon as we got there, we realized that in seeing the movie outside at the park, we were going to have to deal with our least favorite aspect of communal events, that being other people.
If we were smart, we'd organize some sort of neighborhood group that would complain about all the increased traffic and noise into our neighborhood and how showing movies in Dolores Park just isn't Mission enough and might bring in people who don't live in the Mission.
