Fifth and sixth graders from Tyson Elementary graded this Mountain View neighborhood park in 2008 with support from the Mountain View Weed & Seed Program. We took their advice! In the summer of 2009, Parks & Recreation staff, park neighbors and volunteers from Grace Works:
• Removed alder overgrowth from walkways through park, improving sight lines and making the park much safer
• Painted all of the bollards surrounding the park
• Added a new sign on bollard in pathway entrance to park to improve park accessibility
• Installed new park rules sign to encourage safe and healthy park enjoyment
• Installed new dog station and new trash cans to promote a clean park
• Replenished pea gravel “landing area” surrounding play equipment
• Sanded and repainted play equipment to remove graffiti
• Removed dead plants & replanted perennial bed
• Removed damaged and unnecessary fencing, enhancing the park’s appearance and accessibility

This park was acquired in 1968 by patent to the city.
