As part of the SFWater’s Adopt-a-Drain program. Sunnysiders have so far adopted over 50 of the neighborhood’s storm drains. These are neighbors who’ve volunteered who keep the grates free of debris which help avoid local flooding. To sign up and adopt your own drain, go to adoptadrain.sfwater.org click>register. (Don’t forget to give your new drain a good name.)

New this year: SFWater has flagged four Sunnyside storm drains as being in special need of adoption, on Foerster Street at Monterey and Joost.

Update on Balboa Park Pool

On September 28, 2018November 17, 2018 By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn Balboa Park, SF Recreation and Parks DeptLeave a comment

Hoodline published this update on the state of the still-unfinished Balboa Park Pool:

“Nearly a year after planned reopening, Balboa Park Pool remains shuttered”

“We determined that it was better to invest in a new, higher-performing and fully warrantied window system,” Tamara Aparton [of SF Rec & Parks] explained, noting that the delays experienced due to the window replacement were concurrent to the utility delays. We are making good progress on other aspects of the work on the interior and exterior,” she added. According to updates posted on the pool’s website, a mural by Jason Jägel was completed inside the building in June.
