The open space is a wonderful part of our neighborhood! 

In July 2026, the tiled steps were damaged when a coffee table was thrown down the steps. Approximately 16 steps were damaged. We are looking into repairing the steps using the original Tile company from 2017. 

The Athens Avalon Greenspace is an icon in the Excelsior neighborhood, featured in walking tours and news outlets. Its 100 colorful steps are the setting for thousands of beautiful photographs around the neighborhood. The Greenspace is managed and maintained by local volunteers and neighbors. We meet once a month on the first Sunday from 10am-12pm to keep the Greenspace beautiful.

Athens Avalon Greenspace is a project of Contina Impact, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go to Contina Impact, restricted for the exclusive support of the Athens Avalon Greenspace project. 

Athens Avalon Greenspace Tiled Steps Repair

Beautiful tiled steps in the heart of San Francisco, CA

The Athens Avalon Greenspace started as an empty lot and was transformed into the beautiful space it is today thanks to the efforts of local neighbors and volunteers. The steps were designed by Iran Narges from the Excelsior neighborhood. Since 2017 the steps have been an icon in the heart of San Francisco, featured in walking tours and local news.

July 2026 there was a vandalism incident where a metal coffee table was thrown down the steps damaging about 16 of the beautiful tiles and requiring repair. The community has come together to raise money for the repair of the steps.

The Athens Avalon Greenspace has workdays once a month on the first Sunday from 10am-12pm and regular community meetings for socializing and community building.
