This Tuesday, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., the inauguration of Mariposa Park, a new neighborhood park in District 7, in San José, will take place.
The space, which is located on the corner of Havana Dr. and Midfield Ave., has 0.15 acres in which a children's play area, tables, benches, gardening, irrigation and an open area for meetings are distributed.
The name ?Mariposa Park? mirrors the mural on the adjacent Highway 101 acoustic wall, titled "The Butterfly's 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 State Beautification Program provided an additional $500,000 to fund this new public space along the state highway system.
Join the City of San José Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services, Councilmember Bien Doan, community members and partner agencies as they unveil a new park in the Tropicana-Lanai neighborhood.
