Quality public spaces require quality stewardship.
Of equal importance to the plaza's physical design is its stewardship design - how it is managed over time. Eagle Plaza is equipped with the governance systems needed to ensure Eagle Plaza sustains itself as a successful public urban amenity in perpetuity.
The Eagle Plaza is the world’s first Leather-themed public space which is a neighborhood community gathering space, managed in support of San Francisco’s Leather, Fetish, Kink, Queer and LGBTQ culture and community.
The space will be managed by "Friends of Eagle Plaza,” a neighborhood-based nonprofit group, established in 2020. The group’s objective is to maintain a space that’s clean, safe, and welcoming to all. They will raise and manage funds to organize, facilitate and authorize events using the Eagle Plaza venue. Priority will be given to non-profit organizations and those that support our local Leather, Fetish, Kink, Queer and LGBTQ community.
The Friends of Eagle Plaza will oversee the operations of the plaza, and coordinating special events, to ensure the cleanliness, safety and accessibility of Eagle Plaza as a shared public amenity for all members of the community.
