Board and Staff
The Park is governed by a Board of Directors. The executive board consists of elected officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) who serve one-year terms, and an appointed Park Manager. The full board also includes a Home Owners Representative and three Representatives from each member zone, who serve three-year terms. Any Park member can run for elected board positions; board elections happen at the December general membership meeting.
2026 Board of Directors
Hi there, neighbor!
Welcome to the Sunnyside Gardens Community Association. Sunnyside Gardens Park is our shared backyard. It's an everyday place where kids can play safely and parents can take a break from the chaos of city life. It's an urban oasis where holidays, games, and ordinary afternoons turn into treasured memories that link past generations to future ones. The Park runs on volunteerism and shared responsibility. We build, clean and care for this magical place with the presence and elbow grease of our members. If you live around here and this sounds like a something you'd like to be a part of, we hope you'll consider join us!
