WPA Activities

The Westwood Park Association sponsors activities throughout the year to encourage residents to meet and learn about their neighborhood.

The following are some recent and ongoing activities sponsored by the WPA:

Bungalow Lecture & Tour

"A real San Francisco treasure" is how author and bungalow expert Paul Duscherer described Westwood Park during the neighborhood tour in September 2003. Duscherer, author of several books, including The American Bungalow, told more than 30 residents that Westwood Park is the only neighborhood in San Francisco with examples of practically every type of bungalow constructed in the early 1900s Craftsman style, Spanish, English Cottage, Prairie, etc.

During the tour, Duscherer talked about the characteristics that make our homes historically significant, as well as beautiful such as beveled-glass French doors, wainscoting and Arts & Crafts-era tiles, among other things. He encouraged residents to preserve the architectural integrity and uniqueness of our neighborhood, lauding our Residential Character District guidelines.

Due to the success of Duscherers tour, many residents have requested additional bungalow seminars and tours addressing areas such as kitchen design and landscaping.

If you would be interested in attending another Bungalow Tour, please contact the Association.
