Thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a Soccer Program in the bayview. Soccer is the worlds game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. I coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. It is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. When the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. Only one or two of them had played soccer before. We gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basketball or football. I am adjusting to be a soccer mom. The bayview is like my favorite team. Even though we lose it is still fine. Right on. I have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. My favorite memory was just having fun and playing. Bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. They are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. Now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. We want to be united in the bayview. That is why this was appropriate this guy is the limit. The kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. We have some potential collegebound kids, definitely. Today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. This year we have first and second grade. We are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. You know why . Why . Because we are . Bayview united. Thats right. Lets get started. Welcome. Yeah. You can be excited. You should be. Welcome to the beautiful new playground, everyone. [ cheering and applause ]. My name is phil ginsburg. I am the manager of the recreation and Parks Department. Were so pleased to have everyone here to celebrate what is really a transformation for this playground, a place where childhood memories will be created and opportunities for imaginative play are endless. There are a lot of Community Supporters and folks that made this happen. Were going to introduce and recognize all of them during our short program, but im so honored to introduce someone who has kept her eye on this playground for many years. As District Supervisor and now as mayor, she is our park champion and chief. Our kids do not need an advocate, because theyve got mayor london breed. Mayor breed thank you so much, phil. Let me tell you, i cant be more happy than to be here today. I remember a couple years ago when we cut the ribbon on the new basketball courts and there were conversations going on and on and on about the playground and the next to do something better. The parents who bring their kids here on a regular basis reflects what we see here today. As much as i love. I grew up in sands, so im a big fan, but the fact is these kids are going to have a great time. We are so lucky in San Francisco that we have so many people in this community that are so generous and were actively engaged to shape what this playground looks like right now. We have amazing contributors who have invested so much money into supporting and making this happen. Our incredible partner, the Parks Alliance, thank you so much for your continued alliance and this playground. Thank you were jody pritzer for your major contribution to this project. And brian baker who hosted. Thank you so much for your work and for your advocacy. The work that you do to raise the funds and contribute to make this possible makes it happen sooner rather than later. So thank you, because the kids that are here today are going to be able to have a good time and enjoy this amazing playground. I know they dont want to hear a bunch of long speeches. I know they cant wait to get started with playing. Thank you to the nopa community and the ashbury community for your work and advocacy. It is so great to be here today to have this incredible experience. I know you are wondering why is sheriff vicky hennesey here today. Shes not here to take anyone to jail. Her granddaughter is a lover of this playground and we are happy to have her as a supporter, so thank you for your service to San Francisco. Fill, you say that i am the park champion, i tell you no one works harder to bring in the resources and move these projects faster to get these done so that you have these results today. Thank you and your team for the work that you continue to do. [ applause ]. Mayor breed last but not least, i started that and she finished it. Valley brown has been an amazing advocate for this community for decades and she made sure that we got this project done. I will say in absolute record time. We just broke ground on this project last year and in bureaucracy time, this is fast. Ladies and gentlemen, the person who was making it happen and doing the work for this community, your supervisor, valley brown. [ applause ]. Thank you, mayor breed. I remember when this was a twinkle in your eye, phil. I see the ashbury council is here. People have come here because this is an amazing park and the way that it was done with the contributor contributors made it what it is now. Look at everything. I was looking around. I cant believe how cool it is, and im going to take a slide down that slide. I dont know if anybody has done it yet, but i want to go and slide down that slide. It looks so fun. I have to say that the city is like a tanker in ice. Every time we try to do something, it takes that long. This is something that went fast because of community support, because we had private people coming in and saying lets make this work, and we can turn faster than a tanker in ice. Thank you, everyone, thank you, mayor breed, and lets play. Supervisor brown said it perfectly, lets play. The mayor has keys to the city and gives proclamations at the board and we give away park signs to true park champions. Thank you for all of your incredible support. [ cheering and applause ]. The mayor alluded to the fact that this was a Big Community effort. We need partners and friends. Government doesnt do it all alone anymore. We need the support. Im pleased to bring up our closest friend, drew beker. The alliance of Parks Department have worked together since 2013 or 2014 on lets play s. F. Which is our campaign to renovate the 13mo 13mostdeserving playgrounds around the city. It is a 30 million effort that has a significant amount of public money, but that wasnt enough to get it done. We are the Parks Alliance and is the San Francisco recs and Parks DepartmentWork Together on so many things, including our 150th Golden Gate Park celebration. This is part of that. The panhandle itself was practice for building Golden Gate Park. Around the park are 80,000 trees that were planted to figure out what would work best down the road. Im so pleased to bring up a special partner, drew beker. Thanks, phil. I want to give a shout out. Thank you, mayor, thank you, valley, thank you, phil. The Parks Alliance is so happy to be a part of this wonderful event. I would like to give a shout out to the civic committee. Thank you so much. You helped make this possible. I want to give a shout out. Thank you, liz, for everything you do. Also brian baker held an event before this. Thank you for you and your family to support us and the San FranciscoParks Alliance. Thank you so much. And the rec and park commissioners, we couldnt do this without them giving the okay to make all of this happen. We have partners with rec and parks and they dont get shout outs that much. I want phil, lisa, and abigail to know how much we appreciate what you do. It is so amazing to have one of the top rec and Parks Departments here in San Francisco. You have no idea how important it is to push these types of projects forward and make this happen and thats because it comes from the top. Your amazing manager, phil, ginsburg, lets give it up for him. This publicprivate partner that was alluded to, we raised about 11. 3 million for 13 playgrounds across the city. Our goal is to raise 14 million, so we have a little bit more to go in order to make this playground and close out this program and have the most equityfocused Playground Initiative in this country called lets play s. F. Lets make sure you visit lets play s. F. Make sure you are part of this movement to bringing this movement to 20,000 kids across this city. Its about making parts a part of each and every community. Parks are part of the big puzzle, about keeping the parks part of our story. We need to move neighborhoods forward building parks. Thanks for being a part of this movement and lets play. Thank you so much. Thank you, drew. This playground is about play and its about community. So representing our community today, we are so pleased to welcome 45 preschoolers from steppingstones preschool. Your granddaughter is here, but steppingstones has a spot in my own heart. Representing steppingstones and speaking on behalf of the community, im pleased to welcome a few members to share the importance of lets play. Hi. My name is rakoia. Im a director of a local preschool up the street, but more importantly im a mother of a 2 year old who is up there right now. I actually came here from l. A. I went to ucla. When i came to San Francisco and looked at the preschools for work and realized none of the preschools have outdoor spaces or if they did, it was tiny. So steppingstones uses the community for their playground. What a resource to have playgrounds like these. This is an amazing playground just for the preschoolers, but also now that im a mom, for communities like this for playgrounds that inspire community and imagination. We were just here in april for the ground breaking, and now its november and its incredible. Thank you so much, everyone. [ cheering and applause ]. Before we do our first slide with our steppingstones preschoolers and supervisor brown, we have some gratitude. I need to do some closing acknowledgements. We have a lot of gratitude for all of our supporters. Without their help and support as i said, this wouldnt be possible. Let me echo my thanks to the pritsker family. For brian and lesley baker, thank you so much for your support. For the folks from kaiser permanente, they have been big supporters. This weekend we lost an advocate for health and equity and diversity and true supporters of playgrounds and someone who understood the very important experience of play. We would ask you to take a quick moment of silence in mrmr. Permi mrmr. Permi mrmr. Permi mr. Permit permanentes honor. Thank you. Lets give a round of applause. Were also pleased to be joined today by sheriff hennessey and her granddaughter. Vivian liang, and then dmitri barstani is here with his mom, georgia. Are you here and can you raise your hands . Theyre over there. Thank you, dmitri and georgia for being here today. Were honoured to be here. His memory and gus memory will live on.

We want to be here. So im very excite ied to be here today. Your volunteerism is appreciated most definitely. Last year we were able to do 6,000 hours volunteering. Without that we cant survive. Volunteering is really important because we cant do this. Its important to understand and a concept of learning how to take care of this park. We have almost a 160 acres in the district 10 area. Its fun to come out here. We have a park. Its better to take some of the stuff off the fences so people can look at the park. The street, every time, our friends. I think everybody should give back. We are very fortunate. We are successful with the company and its time to give back. Its a great place for us. The weather is nice. No rain. Beautiful San Francisco. Its a great way to be able to have fun and give back and walk away with a great feeling. For more opportunities we have volunteering every single day of the week. Get in touch with the parks and Recreation Center so come. Good to have you here. Welcome. I am the s. F. O. Airport director. Thank you all for being here. Thank you. [ applause ]. Thanks so much. You know, its a pleasure to welcome everyone here today. This is such an important day and were so excited to celebrate this unveiling and recognition and commemoration of our late mayor. Were so pleased to have the family here of ed. Thank you, anita, to have you here, eds wife. Eds daughters tania and rihanna, welcome to both of you, and natasha, the granddaughter, is also here, welcome. Pansie for being here, thank you for being here. 94 years young and she traveled from seattle to be with us today along with other members of the family. I understand eds brothers and sister are here, edmond and manny, welcome and thank you for being here. It is a real honor for me to be here as well as the airport director and to celebrate this wonderful commemoration of our late mayor ed lee and his life time and legacy. Such an important place to have this commemoration. This is an appropriate dedication to our late mayor, as he was such a driving force in connecting our city to the rest of the world for business as well as cultural enrichment. He was so supportive and proud of our efforts to create such an amazing Passenger Experience and create the standard of a worldclass airport. He would say he wanted everyone to feel like you were walking through a fivestar hotel lobby when you travel through our airport. I think we achieved that vision. With a coalition of asianpacific community organizations, the Airport Coalition wanted to honor the mayor and formed a special advisory naming committee. Their job was to review the various proposals befitting of the honor that was proposed of our late mayor. I have to say it was a Truly Engaged and collaborative process. The committee came up with a unanimous recommendation to the Airport Commission, which also received unanimous approval for the Airport Commission which received permission from the departure hall in his honor. [ applause ]. You know, there was Community Involvement in this and we created a special advisory panel, including anita and members of the committee that were helping guide the implementation of the various elements of what this honoring of our late mayor would be, including the wood wall which we will get to see a little later on, including this mural behind me, which in the future will be replaced with a plaque, as well as a statue and a video about ed and how important he was to the city and county of San Francisco. It will be this lasting commemoration in our airport of the extraordinary significance our late mayor ed lee had on the city and county of San Francisco. With that, i thank you all for being here today. It is my pleasure to introduce the 45th mayor of San Francisco, who served out the remaining term of mayor lee and who we all congratulate on her victory to a full fouryear term as our mayor, welcome, mayor london breed. Mayor breed thank you, ivar. Im really excited to be here today, especially with members of the lee family, members of our Airport Commission, and people that i served with on the board of supervisors when ed was our mayor, president of the board of superviseors, thank yo, supervisor yee, for being here. When mayor lee was mayor, we were like hi
