Did a Rec and Park cart get stuck in the middle of the Panhandle again? Sure looks that way from this photo, ’cause as we learned from My Cousin Vinny, tire tracks don’t lie.
Instead of working on aesthetics all the time, why doesn’t the PRD work on tasks they’re supposed to work on, like drainage ‘n stuff?
Just asking, bro.
So, when you see all them “AREA CLOSED” signs, just consider them to mean, “AREA RESERVED FOR PICKUP GAMES OF FRISBEE FOOTBALL ONLY.”

But don’t park your rear-wheel-drive vehicle anywhere near the middle of the Panhandle, else the bog will eat it up. For instance, SFPD prowlers (aka radio cars, aka cruisers) patrolling the GGP get bogged down in La Brea North all the time. See?
I don’t think our Panhandle wants to be a dry, grassy meadow…
Our recent rains have turned the middle of the Golden Gate Park Panhandle betwixt Oak and Fell into a Great Muddy Bog.
So when you’re prowling about looking for criminales in your nose-heavy, rear-wheel-drive Crown Victoria it’s easy to get stuck in the mud, as the operators of Radio Car 075 discovered last night.

A quick tug from a friendly tow truck driver and you’re back on the pedestrian path where you belong(?).
It would be nice to have more drainage here and maybe also it’d be nice to bring back the Panhandle Bandshell.
Maybe someday.
