This Tuesday, from 12:00 to 13:00, Mariposa Park, a new neighborhood park in District 7, in San José, will be inaugurated.
The space, located at the corner of Havana Dr. and Midfield Ave., has 0.15 acres with a children's play area, tables, benches, landscaping, irrigation and an open meeting area.
The name “Mariposa Park” reflects the mural on the adjacent Highway 101 sound wall, titled “The Butterfly Dream,” by Bay Area muralist Morgan Bricca.
The development of this park was made possible through the advocacy of LUNA and members of the District 7 community.
The Open Space Authority provided a $250,000 grant and Caltrans' Clean California Beautification Program provided an additional $500,000 to fund this new public space along the state highway system.
Join the City of San José Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department, Councilmember Bien Doan, community members and partner agencies as they unveil a new park in the Tropicana-Lanai neighborhood.
