our approach is that our parks system, it is broken up into park service areas that are not directly aligned with one supervisor oriole district. we have golden gate park as one park service area. and all of the park service areas are equally staffed. our parks have different needs, depending upon the topography, the type of activity, the type of usage, and we take very seriously the responsibility to make sure that all of our parks are getting the attention that they need and deserve. i think that has been reflected for the park management scores. it is something we are proud about. not only is the overall score higher than it has ever been, we have closed the historic gap between the highest performing neighborhoods to some of the lowest scoring parks. we pay close attention to when the controller gives us feedback. we actually have management plans that the park service area managers are responsible for, to have a plan to address the scoring deficiencies, which is an incredibly valuable tool. supervisor cohen: congratulations to hilltop park. what i wanted to know from your perspective, what are some of the improve
