Portola Neighborhood Association

The volunteer-run association organizes neighborhood cleanups, community events, and projects that improve public spaces. It connects neighbors with one another, supports local businesses, and works with city agencies on traffic calming, sidewalk improvements, signage, and illegal dumping enforcement. Projects include the Green Between community greenway, public murals, and efforts to reactivate the Avenue Theater and improve Palega Recreation Center. The association also hosts quarterly community meetings and neighborhood events, including the Autumn Moon Festival. Its work focuses on beautification, safe transportation and access, and community engagement. Serving San Francisco's Portola District, the organization has advocated for the neighborhood since 2006.
