The Street Parks Program is a partnership involving Public Works, the San Francisco Parks Alliance and the residents of San Francisco, with the common goal of creating community-managed spaces on City-owned land. The Street Parks program transforms Public Works-owned parcels into green open space, gardens, neighborhood gathering spaces and more. Since the program’s inception in 2004, more than 100 Street Parks have been developed and more are in progress.

The Adopt-A-Street Program is a partnership between the City and its merchants and residents. Groups or individuals agree to adopt an area and take responsibility for keeping the street, sidewalk, and storm drain clean. In return, we provide free street cleaning supplies, and litter and compostable leaf bag pickup.
The Adopt-A-Street Program creates a cleaner, more pleasant environment for everyone who lives, works and shops in adopted areas. The program also strengthens community ties as neighbors and merchants work together to keep San Francisco clean.
The Green Benefit District program seeks to improve the quality of the public realm – the City’s streets, sidewalks, parks and open spaces – within residential and mixed-use neighborhoods.
Our partnerships with community organizations provide job training and workforce development to youth and San Francisco residents while also keeping San Francisco clean, green and beautiful.

San Francisco will invest nearly $9 billion in improving and maintaining the City’s infrastructure through the Ten-Year Capital Plan and create tens of thousands of jobs. Public Works is committed to helping San Franciscans attain the skills and experience they need to be part of this growing workforce. In partnership with Human Services Agency, JOBSNOW and local unions, our apprenticeship programs provide training to hundreds of participants.
