SAN FERNANDO ROAD PARK

PROJECT COMPLETED AT CITY OF LOS ANGELES, DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION AND PARKS

San Fernando Road park represents a broader effort by the city of Los Angeles to increase the number of recreation areas in historically park-poor neighborhoods, like Sylmar. The park is 10,500 square feet. Surrounded by brand-new single-family homes, the park is concrete and soft rubber, with a border of woodchips and drought-tolerant landscaping—dotted by a handful of small trees and patches of grass. It has a small play area for children, picnic tables, benches, and some fitness equipment.
