Pomona residents can comment on future city park
Pomona administrators have organized a meeting for Jan. 20 to collect
residents' opinions on a two-acre park the city hopes to create on 11th Street,
west of White Avenue.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Ralph Welch Park Community
Center, 1251 W. 11th St.
At the meeting residents will have an opportunity to offer suggestions on
amenities the new park should have, according to information from the city.
The city is seeking a state grant totaling about $3.5 million for the
purchase of the land and its development into a park.
The grant the state grant the city is seeking would be funded through Proposition 84, the Safe Drinking Water, Water
Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of
2006.
I grew up playing baseball in Ralph Welch park back in 70's it was a safe and wonderful park,to make it better would be great.My main concern centers around safety for the black resident still left in pomona wheather they will be safe to go to the park,as you know many parks are not safe for us to go to anymore. Therfore I would like tight security at the park and events that encourage blacks to come to the park.
