"At about 11 am Monday morning, the SF Rec and Park Department sent out a very newsworthy email. But the subject line of the email didn't sound very newsworthy at all, it just said Rec and Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg Named President of the Resources Legacy Fund, a reference to Rec and Park general manager Phil Ginsburg. But the bomb was buried in the second sentence of the email, which said that Ginsburg will leave the City at the end of the year."
"It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of San Francisco as their parks director, Ginsburg said in that press release. I am proud of the safe, clean, joyous, and equitable park system we have built over the last 16 years. It's hard to say goodbye to something you love, but I am confident that San Francisco's parks will continue to bring joy and respite to our beautiful city"
"Mayor Daniel Lurie is certainly saying nice things about Ginsburg on the way out. I'm grateful to Phil Ginsburg for his 25 years of service to our city and 16 years of leadership at the Recreation and Park Department, Lurie added in the same press release. Phil has worked tirelessly to improve our city's public spaces, and I want to thank him for his unending commitment to San Francisco."
