The Sell Off of Golden Gate Park, Non-Profits & Privatization-A Walk

Meet at the main entrance of the Botanical Garden on Martin Luther King Jr Dr. (9th Ave,) near Lincoln Way.

The growing transfer of public services to so called non-profits is taking place in Golden Gate Park as well as the rest of the city. Unaccountable non-profit executives are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and are part of a growing massive corruption scandal as payoffs to corrupt city officials are exposed. The workers and public are short changed.
The privately run Parks Alliance and San Francisco Botanical Garden Society are taking over more and more of the park operations making this a threat to a free public park for the people.
This walk will look at how this is taking place in Golden Gate Park from the privatization of the Botanical Gardens to the ferris wheel to the privately run $27 million Golden Gate Park tennis center which caters to the rich.

Harry Pariser, Anti-Privatization activist
