Mean the only playgrounds were doing through the bond and as noted in the staff report a number of other projects that are part of larger renovations include playground projects and as you look at the map all of the red dots are the playgrounds in the San Francisco park system. Its one of the our numerous assets and one of the park features that draws the most loyalty and interest and enthusiasm and feedback from the many park users. Of that entire universe of playgrounds we renovated 83 already and that goes back to work from the 2000 park bonds that was passed so we did a tremendous body of work over time but as youre aware resources are often not enough to meet the full universe of need, and so even with the 83 renovated playgrounds we still had 55 playgrounds that hadnt been renovated in the past decade so this was the universe that the task force looked at and thought of the plays how do we evaluate which ones need additional investment and which ones are okay . So we look the at
Reiterate or under score that dawn did mention. First the staff. I would agree with dawn having participated in a number of these process and ones that had the passion and commitment to parks and open space that could potentially be therefore very contentious and this was not for a number of reasons. The first of which in my mind was the incredible Staff Support and analysis that went into preparation that dawn referenced so again thank you to dawn and the entire team, and then secondly the masterful facilitation skills of steve his last name . Cansian.

I know matt ogrady is here and i want to thank them and the Parks Alliance board for their interest. This is at the top of our philanthropic list frankly. We want to leverage this opportunity.
