WESTBOROUGH PLAYGROUND OFFICIALLY RENAMED ANNE WATERS PLAYGROUND

On Sunday, November 7, City Council and community members gathered to celebrate the life of Anne Waters and the renaming of the 5-12 year old playground at Westborough Park to the Anne Waters Playground. Anne Waters served countless hours of public service as a community volunteer, and had a strong connection to the Westborough neighborhood. She advocated for the recreational needs of the Westborough neighborhood, and served as Chair of the Westborough Swimming Pool Fundraising and Advisory Committee. Although the goal of building a swimming pool adjacent to the Recreation Building did not come to fruition, Mrs. Waters and the Westborough Swimming Pool Fundraising and Advisory Committee, having conducted multiple fundraisers, donated the funds in their account toward renovation of the Westborough Park playground.

Also active in city-wide initiatives, Mrs. Waters served on the Cultural Arts Commission from 1994 – 2002. As a strong African-American woman who was an active volunteer focused on improving the community, Anne Waters was an inspirational role model. She was consistently kind, thoughtful, positive, and collaborative in her interaction with others.

This is the third recreation site to be renamed after trailblazing women who have made an impact on the South San Francisco community. On September 25, 2021 Magnolia Center (601 Grand Ave.) was officially renamed the Roberta Cerri Teglia Center. On Saturday, October 23, 2021 the Westborough Recreation Building was officially renamed the Alice Peña Bulos Center.
