Flyer that we are posting around neighborhoods in SF about the proposed fence in Huntington Park

What's happening? The Nob Hill Association, a members-only organization, wants to enclose Huntington Park in a 6 foot high metal fence on top of the 2.5 foot high stone wall surrounding the park. This includes tall gates at all entrances that will be locked from midnight until 5am.

The Facts1. The fence is historically inaccurate - the park has never had a fence. Instead, the fence was erected prior to the park's creation to secure a gilded age mansion against those outside. The mansion and the fence were both gone before the park's creation. 2. There have been no problems that would require fencing off the whole park. Instead, the fence presents a threat to public safety. People could get trapped inside in the event of an emergency or if faced with a threatening situation. 3. The fence locks in dogs, children and adults together. This will destroy the current open and inviting nature of this historic park by creating a visual barrier that diminishes the enjoyment of its many local and international visitors.
