SUBJECT: Parks and Trees Divisions Activities Report
Park Division Activities
1. Staff continued coordinating the construction of the Bonita Canyon Sports Park with
the Public Works Department although construction work has been limited due to the
financial difficulties of the general contractor at this time.
2. Additional California native plants were installed on the slope adjacent to Fernleaf
Avenue. The seasonal dieback of the existing natives left the slope unattractive at times
and complaints were received from the public. The additional perennial native plants
will allow for year round foliage.
3. Three Commission approved donation benches were installed, one at Cliff Drive Park
• and along West Ocean Front sidewalk of the Peninsula at 8`t' and 10"' Streets.
Additionally, four Commission approved donation trees were installed, at Grant
Howald, Old School and Cliff Drive Parks.
4. The Phase II Walkway Replacement Project at Eastbluff Park began in mid - December.
This project provides for the removal of deteriorated asphalt walkways and replacement
with concrete.

deep tine aerification, fertilization, seeding and top dressing.
