Dear Recreation & Parks Commission,

I believe that all San Francisco kids deserve safe, accessible and world-class parks and athletic fields. I support the proposed renovation at Beach Chalet soccer fields and encourage you to continue supporting the Playfields Initiative partnership between the City Fields Foundation and San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department.

By installing synthetic turf and lights, more than 9,500 hours of new play time will be added to the Beach Chalet soccer fields, essentially resolving San Francisco's deficit of athletic fields for youth during the busy after-school hours.

I urge the Recreation and Parks Commission, the Mayor, the Board of Supervisors, and the entire city family to support this partnership so that every child in our city has a place to play and enjoy the wonder of sport.
