continued generosity in supporting our parks, and i want to give a big thanks to jackie shapeer and dan shapeer for the helen diller foundation. we're lucky to have you supporting the city of san francisco. thank you very much. thank you, and enjoy your parks. [applause]. >> thank you so much, commissioner. all right. now, you're going to hear from my customers: three youth, pauli pauline, charlie, and shada, three members of the boys and girls club who hangout at bodecker and will now have the opportunity to hangout at city center. we have an elementary school student, a middle school student, and a high school student. we're so pleased to bring them up to say a few words. >> all right. before i begin, the fact that everyone here today, everyone's smile made my heart feel warm and tingly inside to fight the cold weather. i believe that playgrounds are important because it provides a safe place for children. i remember the park before the renovation. i remember as a child that this area was a danger zone that i should avoid. i remember finding myself repulsed by the smell emitting from the park
