Come snack, mingle and share ideas with the staff of Mission Local.Dive Deeper Into the Making of the EventThe Tenderloin is one of San Francisco’s most densely populated neighborhoods and one of the most underserved when it comes to public green spaces. Over the years, multiple efforts to create new parks and community — a point underscored in the the reporting of Mission Local’s Eleni Balakrishnan.In 2022, the city allocated $2 million to develop a car-free green corridor known as the Greenway. The project was envisioned as a transformative investment in a safe, car-free, green corridor for the community. However, it ultimately becoming another unrealized promise to revitalize the neighborhood through much-needed green infrastructure.More recently in October, Mayor Lurie directed funding toward renovations of the Tenderloin Children’s Playground—one of the few existing green play spaces available to local youth. Meanwhile, community organizations have continued with their grassroots efforts to steward and strengthen beloved spaces like the TL National Forest. These efforts are deeply valued and widely appreciated.Still, many residents continue to call for more green spaces and longtime community advocates remain committed to activating the Greenway corridor. This event will dive into this history and grapple with: Where do we go from here? Together, we will reflect on what has worked, what hasn’t, and how we can build a greener future for the Tenderloin.Agenda?: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PMLight bites + Mingling?: 07:00 PM - 08:00 PMPanel + Q&A - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/mission-local-presents-promises-parks-and-the-tenderloin/100001984154710150 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Tenderloin Museum - **lat**: 37.7838761 - **long**: -122.4141613 - **full address**: Tenderloin Museum, 398 Eddy Street, San Francisco, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Mission Local presents: Promises, Parks & the Tenderloin - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c53b3296be220e40c7908b60c58eae2f8115f01bda8857dd41a26ac0b9f3c63e-rimg-w1200-h675-dc171a18-gmir.jpg?v=1772726566 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Mission Local presents: Promises, Parks & the Tenderloin being held? - **A:** Mission Local presents: Promises, Parks & the Tenderloin takes place on Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Tenderloin Museum, 398 Eddy Street, San Francisco, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Mission Local presents: Promises, Parks & the Tenderloin? - **A:** Mission Local presents: Promises, Parks & the Tenderloin is organized by Mission Local. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
