About Friends of Jackson Park
Friends of Jackson Park is a neighborhood 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in San Francisco (Potrero Hill) dedicated to advocating, fundraising, and organizing volunteer efforts to renovate and expand Jackson Park. The organization partners closely with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to develop design and construction plans and to steward donor funds for a large park renovation project.
