Rededication of Moscone Playground
July 21st, 2008 categories: The Marina
What a grand day for the residents of the Marina District. The George Moscone Recreation Center was reopened, and what an event it was. The project was 8 million dollars and took a total of 18 months to complete. At the event were several individuals who took part in making sure this magnificent project would come to fruition. General Manager of Park and Rec, Yomi Agunbiade, spoke about the project prior to the ribbon cutting. Supervisor Alioto-Pier was in attendance along with Park and Rec Commissioner Tom Harrison, Northern District Police Captain Al Casciato, Park and Rec Supervisor Joseph Figone, Park and Rec Director of Communications and Public Affairs, Rose Marie Dennis, among others.
There were several arts and crafts for the children, games, and lots of great food. Everything was renovated. There are new restrooms, new basketball hoops, bleachers, lights, etc. Probably the best part of the re-dedication was that the late Mayor George Moscone’s family including his widow, Gina Moscone, son, Christopher, and daughter, Jennifer. His son, Christopher, said a few words and talked about how much it meant to the Moscone family to see the Recreation Center bear his father’s name. The Marina District will enjoy this new center for years to come.
