People of Parkside Sunset

The plan to renovate Larsen Playground has been approved by the Recreation & Parks Department. Now the Friends of Larsen Playground are gearing up for major fundraising. The goal is to raise $250,000 by February.

To kick off this ambitious fundraising campaign, the Friends of Larsen are holding a Soapbox Derby/Block Party on November 18, along 20th Avenue between Wawona and Vicente Streets. Build a derby car, buy a Larsen T-shirt or just come by to find out how you can be a part of creating the coolest new park in San Francisco.

Details will be announced soon at www.LarsenParkJet.org

The sport of Soapbox Derby racing actually has deep roots in District 4. To read more about the Sunset’s Soapbox Derby history, click here: http://www.outsidelands.org/soap-box-derby.php
