""The current document is a very general illustration of the plan," said Lisa Bransten, underscoring that accepting the grant does not obligate the city to the current proposal."
""Money doesn't fall from trees," Commissioner Vanita Louie stated, indicating the necessity of the grant while clarifying her vote was not an endorsement of the final design."
"Bob Hall, a leader of Keep Crocker Real, expressed skepticism about the renovation plans, citing Dan Mauer's comment that the artificial turf is 'non-negotiable.'"
The Recreation and Park Commission voted to recommend the Board of Supervisors accept a $28-million grant from the San Francisco Giants for renovating Crocker Amazon Park's ballfields. This grant will be combined with $22 million from the city's Health and Recovery bond, totaling $50 million. The renovation plan has faced criticism, particularly regarding the use of synthetic turf and the removal of mature trees. Commissioners emphasized that accepting the grant does not commit the city to the current proposal.
