Mission Parents Group/ Parque Ninos Unidos
The Mission Parents Group was founded in January 2005 and includes nearly 90 families. They hold monthly gatherings, and maintain an active email list. The group organizes park cleanups at Parque Ninos Unidos. Recently they organized an emergency fundraiser for Mission Educations Projects Inc., helping to save their programs for the remainder of the school year by raising more than $30,000. Parque Ninos Unidos (at Treat & 23rd Street) opened in 2003. It is a 0.55 acre mini park with play areas, lawn areas, a gazebo, community garden, clubhouse, lighting, pathway and landscaping. The park site is fenced and gated. The clubhouse includes a large space for general use, kitchen, maintenance storage, director’s office and restrooms. The clubhouse is constructed with lightweight structural steel with cement plaster and architectural steel elements. Parque Ninos Unidos is near Caesar Chavez Elementary School.

The Juri Commoners/ Juri Commons
The Juri Commoners, 50 strong, host monthly workdays in the Juri Commons, and have a daily walk-through schedule. The 120’ by 25’ park was created in the 1986 from the last section of land that was once a railroad stretching from San Francisco to San Mateo. This fall the Juri Commoners hosted Art In the Park, a charette for landscape architecture designs. This mini park contains benches, a compact playground with resilient poured-in-place surfacing and a bulletin board. It is landscaped with grass, flowers, a community garden and a mural by Tirso Gonzales. The park is between Gurrero and San Jose, 25th and 26th Streets.

The Panhandle is a park in San Francisco, California that forms a panhandle with Golden Gate Park. It is long and narrow, being three-quarters of a mile long and one block wide. Fell Street borders it to the north, Oak Street to the south, and Baker Street to the east. Two paths run through it from Golden Gate Park to Baker Street, one for pedestrians and one for bicycles. There are basketball courts and a playground in the section between Stanyan Street and Masonic Avenue. Trees in the Panhandle are among the oldest in the county of San Francisco.
