I will be out in neighborhoods working for this. I believe so strongly on it. You know, with play fields across the city in need of upgrades, these arent the only ones. This measure helps to advance good projects and ill be proud to stand with the koigs will have family members and rec and mark enthusiasts to make sure this goes through. Weve all been a supporter of parks, az supervisor wiener mentioned some of these parks renovated on city fields or otherwise they change neighborhoods and lives for families here in San Francisco so ill be proud to support this and i want to thank you for having this hearing today and lock forward to seeing this on the ballot. Thank you. Supervisor campos. Thank you, i thought you were here for the prior item to show your support for it. I want to thank everyone for being here. I dont think that anyone disagrees that we care about kids and families having play areas. I dont know that theres anyone here who disagrees with that. The question for me as so
Access, i think the renovations for the beach shall lay fields and others are needed. I think we need to increase play time and get kids and family off of concrete areas where many of them are playing and on to more play fields throughout or city. I think as the synthetic task force has looked at issue, but the best technologies that protect for Public Health and environmental points of view and i believe as these fields are developed will use new technologies that can allow more play time, but also be safe for everyone so im very supportive and id like to thank the mayor and other colleagues for putting this on the ballot as well.

Spring, there is a lack of appropriate fields throughout the city. It was raining one morning during the spring in baseball season. To be able to increase play time for our children when theres such a lack of fields to me is something that obviously i cant believe that were actually having a debate about this, but i understand that we have a very vocal minority here that want to block beach chalet.
