The Tenderloin oasis park, a former parking lot turned into a green space, is set to close on June 21 due to city funding cuts. - The park at Turk and Hyde streets opened in 2022 and has been a rare respite for residents.
- Urban Alchemy, the nonprofit manager, will lose city funding as the mayor shifts to roving street teams. - Supervisor Dean Mahmood is negotiating with the mayor's office and the lot owner to find a new operator.
- The closure follows other lost public spaces for adults in the Tenderloin, like the La Cocina marketplace. The mayor's office says it is exploring community-driven opportunities to keep the space active.
