"I am so excited to open this playground and beautiful community space in Chinatown just in time for Lunar New Year," Breed said.

Funds for the $14.5 million renovation project came from the 2012 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, but also included $4.5 million from the Downtown Park Fund, established in 1985 to collect fees from commercial developers in the downtown area. Additional funding was provided through the City's Open Space Fund. Read more at CBS San Francisco
