Wayne Breise spearheaded the operation with donations from 71 neighbors ranging from $200 to $25,000. The first phase included a gazebo with meandering sidewalks that led through an arbor to inspiration point and around the lawn area that included a rose garden. Member donations allowed for the planting of trees, drinking fountains, concrete seating and a picnic table. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The neighborhood demographics changed as original owners moved out and more families with children moved in. Having a tot lot playground with swings, a slide and climbing equipment became the next phase in 2012.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In 2014, a dog park was created, and in 2016, a putting green was installed. The end result is a park that is fun for the entire family. In addition to the annual picnic in October, members get to enjoy the park with several scheduled events that include a golf championship in June, a concert in July and family movie night under the stars in August.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Also, our community park is home to potlucks, kids\u2019 birthday parties, and weddings as members have full access to reserve it at no charge. What our park has given us is a true sense of community with our neighbors and that in turn creates more camaraderie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span><em>\u2014Susan Clarke Crisafulli writes on behalf of Alvarado Estates.<\/em><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original plan in 1952 was to have stables where our community park is now located.
