Description: The story of the Seward Street Mini-Park, which has drawn children to its concrete slides since opening day on May 21, 1973. Fearing loss of crucial open space, residents and Eureka Valley neighbors began a campaign of petitions and letters to city, state and federal officials, followed by years of public hearings, Planning Commission battles, Board of Permit Appeals meetings and audiences with the mayor. As the bulldozers arrived to begin work, neighbors started a sit-in on this site, forcing developers to abandon their plans. The outcome of this struggle permanently changed development in the City and led to legislation requiring a minimum amount of neighborhood open space.
