Friends of Billy Goat Hill Park
An upper Noe Valley neighborhood association blog aimed at the care and upkeep of one of San Francisco's 31 natural areas, Billy Goat Hill. This 3.5 acre natural area is home to locally significant native plants and several birds breed here including lesser goldfinches and barn swallows. Hawks are frequently seen hunting on this hill during the fall and winter. Billy Goat Hill is also the home of the famous rope swing!

Beautiful New Beacon Sidewalks
The new sidewalks are looking really beautiful!
Much thanks to SF Public Works staff who meet with neighbors, heard our concerns for the new railing design, and agreed to re-evaluate the need for these. We are happy to hear that most of the proposed new railings will not be necessary afterall.
Take a walk and check out the progress for yourself! Let us know if you have any concerns - so far we are hearing nothing but two big THUMBS UP from the neighbors!
