Congratulations to the City of Baldwin Park for receiving two Proposition 68 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program grants from OGALS totaling $6,375,000.
The first award of $3,285,000 will be used to green the paved road along the Big Dalton Wash with a bike trail, lighting, and four pocket parks on Garvey Avenue, Dalewood Street, and Francisquito Avenue.
The second award of $3,090,000 will go to develop the recently acquired 0.16-acre lot next to Barnes Park and an existing 0.18-acre area of the park. Upon completion, the park will have a universal-access playground featuring shade structures, two basketball courts, a futsal court/mini-pitch soccer field, a picnic area, and public art as well as an expanded parking lot, ornamental safety fencing and lighting, and landscaping.
CC Senior Project Manager David Marquez strategically worked side by side with Baldwin Park administration and staff to complete the successful application.
