In 2008, San Francisco Beautiful gave a Beautification Award to the Visitacion Valley Greenway Project, a re-purposed blighted property that was converted into a public park. This series of six publicly-owned parcels functions as an outdoor classroom and recreation area beautifying the landscape and uniting the diverse groups of Visitacion Valley. Park features include a native plant and herb gardens, a children’s play area, trees, public art, crops and a senior pavilion.
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.
