Below: Redevelopment of San Francisco's Joe DiMaggio Playground begun in 1999 with the
renovation and reconfiguring of the indoor pool and pool building. The old library was demolished and
a new library 60% larger went up on an adjacent corner plot. That move caused closure of a block
of city street to allow direct connection between the library, the pool and park complex. The central
playground green was the final phase of this 16-year project.
