In 2009, San Francisco Beautiful recognized La Playa Park with a Beautification Award. La Playa at 48th Avenue in the Outer Sunset has transformed a litter-filled median strip into a quiet respite. This project was created and is maintained by neighbors and those at the Java Beach Cafe.
For more than 40 years, San Francisco Beautiful has been honoring San Franciscans who make special contributions to the unique character and beauty of our City with the Annual Beautification Awards.
