West installed plants in six 10 foot by 10 foot plots on the eastern slope of the
Central Library. The plants selected for these plots are native drought- tolerant
species selected for the Civic Center Park, and are being evaluated to determine
their hardiness and growth potential in this environment and amongst the adjacent
landscape and trees.
3. Parks Maintenance staff coordinated the renovation of the football soccer field at
Bonita Creek Park. The main effort was the installation of 14,000 square feet of
hybrid Bermuda sod. Other renovation activities included: deep -tine aerification,
over - seeding, topdressing, fertilization, and re- grading of low areas. During this
downtime, the field will be temporarily closed to public use to ensure a pristine
playing surface for the busy fall sports season. The AYSO Region 97 and Junior
All- American Football each provided a portion of the funding for this project.
4. Recently, Parks Division staff completed a landscape enhancement in cut -out
planters along MacArthur Boulevard at Bonita Canyon Sports Park. The project
both supplemented and replaced plants that were generally under - performing. The
replacements were selected because of their drought- tolerance, ease in maintenance
and at maturity, their dramatic color displays. This project was funded with the use
of remaining bond funds left over from the Park's initial development.
