Things are happening!
Mountain Lake Park has a Kiosk! Thanks to the work of the Neighborhood Parks Council, the Friends of Mountain Lake Park and the Recreation and Park Department carpentry shop, Mountain Lake Park has a beautiful new kiosk at the 9th Avenue entrance. The department and the Friends of Mountain Lake Park will post useful information on the locked side of the structure, while the public will be able to post notices on the other side.
May 3d Park Cleanup a BIG Success. More than fifty volunteers turned out on a beautiful Saturday May 3d to clear undergrowth at the east end of the park and install native plants at the 9th Avenue entrance and east of the houses near 8th Avenue. The Friends of Mountain Lake Park hosted a chili and hot dog lunch for all the volunteers afterwards. Then on May 22d, a team of gardeners and volunteers came back to clear away the piles of debris created by the cleanup.Photos of both days here.
Many thanks to Brian Hildebidle of the Presidio Trust for his always-generous assistance and to the volunteers from onebrick.org for all their hard work.
