Stop Taxing Fun - Keep Parks Accessible to All

The Board of Supervisors is charging San Franciscans to use public amenities.

Public space shouldn't come with a price tag.

What’s Happening:

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors just approved a slew of major changes: a $3 per hour parking fee in Golden Gate Park, a $5 per hour reservation fee for tennis and pickleball courts at 28 locations, and a $2 increase per nine holes at 5 golf courses. This marks a shift away from free public access to one of the city's most important civic spaces.

Why it Matters:

San Francisco's public parks are meant to be open to all. Adding paywalls in places intended for recreation and gathering is functionally less public for many.

Message to Mayor Lurie and the Board of Supervisors
Dear Mayor Lurie,

The Board of Supervisor's action effectively blocks families on a budget from going to Golden Gate Park. 

I'm writing to ask you to put residents first and not implement the package of new charges approved by the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco's public parks, which includes a $5 per hour reservation fee for tennis and pickleball courts, increased golf fees, and paid parking in Golden Gate Park.

These are public goods, funded by taxpayers, and they should remain free and accessible to all. Imposing additional charges creates a paywall on public space, undermining equity and disproportionately impacting low-income residents, youth, seniors, and people with disabilities.

It should not be the public's burden to bail out city departments through fees that limit access.

Please restore access to our beloved parks by rescinding these new fees.
