Thank you to our applicants for making the neighborhood a better place, to our grant committee members for volunteering the time to administer the program (want to volunteer? Email us at info@glenparkassociation.org), and to the many neighbors whose donations over and above the $10 annual membership fee support these grants!
What’s on at the Rec Center?
The answer is, a lot! Recreation Coordinator Conor Casey listed a few of the many great free and nominal cost offerings at the rec center, including pick-up pickle ball, Pilates, yoga, ping pong, a climbing wall and more.

San Francisco Planning Department
Thanks to Reanna Tong and Malena Leon-Farrera, senior planners from the SF Planning Department’s Land Use and Community Planning Team, who came to the GPA Spring 2024 Meeting to discuss zoning changes proposed to meet state housing requirements.
See the proposed zoning map here, and zoom in to see Glen Park specifically. Most of the neighborhood would be rezoned to allow four units within a 40-foot height, which means density would change but height would not. Portions of Bosworth, Diamond and Chenery would be zoned for 8 and 6 stories.
Here are the links they provided:
Project website. Includes zoning proposals, timeline, ways to get involved
Learn how building heights are measured here
Environmental Review documents (includes some information about shadows cast by buildings in Appendix K, but Glen Park and Glen Canyon are not among the sites selected for analysis.) Find more about how the city studied shadowing in this document, page 319
Learn how the city leverages community benefits from developers here
