City officials break ground on new park along L.A. River in Reseda
In 2013, members from the Trust for Public Land and Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Blumenfield tour the area where a park will be created in Reseda.
City officials broke ground Saturday on a new park in Reseda along the Los Angeles River.
The ceremony kicked off construction of the 2-acre park, which will include walking and biking paths as well as a greenway, City Councilman Bob Blumenfield, who represents the area, said in a statement.
The park is the latest step in the city’s push to revitalize the banks of the Los Angeles River, Blumenfield said.
“This park will be a home base for us here in the West Valley, a destination for those down river and an integral part of the transformation of the L.A. River,” he said.
The project will replace a vacant lot and will connect to a planned 50-mile network of bike and walking paths along the river.
