The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.
(McLuhan, 1954)

Hand painted mural for community park Playland at 43rd Avenue.
This project at the heart of the Outer Sunset neighborhood seeks to reuse Francis Scott Key Annex, a San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) currently underutilized site as a community resource for recreation. The project is a partnership between the Friends of Playland at 43rd Avenue, San Francisco Parks Alliance, SFUSD and Pavement to Parks, a City and County of San Francisco inter-agency program that seeks to test the possibilities of underused areas of land by quickly and inexpensively converting them into new public spaces for communities citywide.
The Francis Scott Key Annex site is an empty asphalt lot of approximately 1.25 acres. The site is not actively used by children or faculty -its building is being used for office and archiving purposes. The Outer Sunset’s community members will temporarily test new ideas to transform this site into an inclusive new space for families, youth and seniors. The new Playland site will offer opportunities for gardening, gathering with neighbors every day or at special events, and it will include a wide variety of play opportunities.
