| | Sunday Streets
September 11, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Western Addition
www.sundaystreetssf.com | | Once a month, from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm on a Sunday, the streets are open to people in the community to participate in healthy activities. The route changes each month, allowing folks to come out and experience what each neighborhood we travel through has to offer. In a time when park space is limited to a small portion of the city, Sunday Streets transforms the streets through any neighborhood into a park for a few hours a month, allowing people to enjoy the air as they walk, skate, bike dance and move around outside. |
| | Engaging Our Grounds - International Green Schoolyards Conference
September 16-18
San Francisco and Berkeley, California
www.greenschoolyards.org | | The green schoolyard movement is growing rapidly and flourishing around the world. Schools near and far are reimagining their grounds, replacing their extensive paved surfaces with a vibrant mosaic of outdoor learning and play opportunities. Schools in many different countries are leaders in this field, finding innovative ways to weave curricula into their landscapes, diversify their recreational offerings, enhance their local ecology, and reflect their unique location and cultural context. The first International Green Schoolyard Conference brings together like-minded colleagues from the United States and abroad to share ideas, tour local school grounds, and inspire each other to bring these ideas back to their own community. |
