City is making improvements to our parks!
50 attended Saturday July 27th - RJM Design Group has been contracted to receive your input on the desired changes for San Remo Park. Over 50 people attended the Saturday morning event and many presented and discussed their perspectives of what more is needed in updating our beloved small park.
Do we need more picnic tables, a small cooking grill, a refill bottle water station, improved children's play ground equipment, benches to stop and rest? Don't hesitate to describe what you like about other parks you may have visited and would like to see here.

Recall recently how many showed up to help us re-plant trees and flowers in Santa Vittoria Park... the City is into beautification!!!
It continues to amaze everyone:
We fix up an area and move on to another, painting, weeding and planting.
Be part of the answer, make the improvements we want to see!
Could we use benches under the trees?
Could we enjoy picnic tables?
Could we improve the drive leading to the park?

Future Connections:
Remember that big blank open space at the end of Ridge Route that leads to the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park area and then, in the proximity to the Regional multi-use trail in Irvine which then leads to the ocean?
The plein air image here depicts the beautiful area that it is.
Would you be interested in seeing that come to fruition? Volunteer on our Board now.
Past successes:
So, why are they installing electricity lines to our new gazebo?
Our community entry will have a display of Christmas lights just like all the other parks. This is an upgrade that will perhaps allow permitted (get a permit) activities that may need electricity. This has not yet been confirmed how such permits may be evaluated for approval.

Plein Air painting under the beautiful trees in the outdoors is an experience you won't forget. Painters (about 25) were really challenged to perform their best under time limits and changing light conditions of the day. It was cloudy at the start and clearing gently by 10:00 AM. Imagine yourself trying to paint - mixing the right colors and shades of those colors, showing depth and foreground. The best part: some of these images blossomed before our eyes - some have been purchased and some might find their way to city buildings and homes in Laguna Terrace.

History (of gazebo and entry wall improvements)
-
June 1st 2022 Presentation to the Parks and Recreation Commission - the video was well received and Consultant Dick Fisher was in attendance.
-
July LTBT has continued to meet with City staff and discuss priorities, including the highest immediate priority our 'entry wall' on San Remo at Santa Maria.
-
The gazebo at the entry to our community WAS being further discussed to identify funding and planned installation. Board members Stephen Hooley , and Harry Huggins met August 22nd with Council Woman Erica Pezold in City Hall to discuss the plans and design for a Gazebo at our Community Entrance at Santa Maria and San Remo. SEE PROJECTS for more details
-
Re-conditioning the "Entry Wall' remains a priority
-
There were thoughts that refinishing the wall could be a stone finish similar to the bottom support posts of the proposed gazebo. But Painting is less expensive
-
-
Securing improvements to neglected homes was discussed at length
-
How to inspire better care of open space along major streets as being "view-corridors" to improve the City.
Weeding along Teramo
City staff installed the gazebo.
Project Potentially on our Horizon:
Board Members have identified this wall as 'not very representative' of our community:
-
Do you know a neighbor who lives along this wall?
-
Can we determine which portion is in City ownership with road dedication?
-
July? or August? or September?
