El Sereno Arroyo Playground secures funding for an expansion!

After my office secured a 25-year lease from CALTRANS for a vacant parcel at Lowell and Concord, my office worked with the Trust for Public Land (TPL) in 2012 to open the El Sereno Arroyo Playground.

I am proud to announce another successful collaboration with TPL and the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP). Working with my El Serno office, TPL was successful in securing a $2.1 million dollar grant for the expansion of El Sereno Arroyo Playground through the Statewide Park Program Grant (Proposition 68). The grant expands the park to the adjacent property. Funding facilitates the construction of a new playground, walking path, fitness area, public art, and restrooms. It will also fund landscaping, fencing, and security lighting throughout the park.

Community input played an important role in securing the grant. My office facilitated numerous neighborhood meetings that gave stakeholders the opportunity for input on the design and amenities. We will continue to work with TPL, RAP, ESAP Vecinos, and all our partner organizations on the next steps of the process now that the grant has been awarded. Val Marquez and Pam Marquez were important advocates working with TPL on the grant submission.

I am proud to have been a part of this effort - and I will share more information on developments as it becomes available.
