Attendees will then break into small, facilitated roundtable discussions to share priorities and feedback. Your input will directly inform how the Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services Department thinks about investing resources.

about beautifysj

BeautifySJ is a blight reduction and encampment management program within the Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services Department.

The BeautifySJ Program works to reduce blight by removing graffiti, coordinating litter pickups and dumpster days, and cleaning up illegal dumping through services like neighborhood beautification, litter education, neighborhood engagement, and illegal dumping removal and prevention.

It also manages encampments by removing trash, providing clean-up services, and addressing pollution from recreational vehicles.

BeautifySJ helps improve neighborhoods, engage local residents, and keep public spaces cleaner and safer for all to enjoy.
