On short notice we raised a power crew of 10. Peter, Bill and Justin dug a trench of rock and compacted sand 80 feet long. The rest of us organized the new tool shed, blocked out the courts, laid piping, and installed 5 new granite stone benches. I think La Playa Park is shaping up to become a unique San Francisco landmark. The good times are behind us and ahead of us. I encourage everyone to participate and enjoy. All the Best, Steve Ward PS; We are engaging the SF State U. engineering dept. with the hope of powering LP with wind and solar. We also have sign ons from an award winning videographer and an electrician whose done a preliminary study and design. Add Comment Suggestions received in an email 08/27/2009
Might it be possible to have bike racks on the corner by the Muni restrooms? What about across the street by the public restrooms....from the men's restroom down to the semi circle cement sitting area. These spiral bike racks look like waves can come pre painted blue, aqua or any color and fit into the ocean theme. Might it be possible to re-do the cement sidewalk in front of the semi circle and have the cement contain a "carville Falcons cycling Club insignia" engraving? Could the landscaping be changed so that there is a terraced ampitheater seating area above the existing semi circle? A place for cyclists, runners, walkers, visitors, readers to sit or people watch activities in La Playa Park. Can the story of Carville be posted on a freestanding sign on the side of the Muni restrooms? Now, this next idea is out there, but, is it possible to have one of the trucks (?) that flattens/moves the sand on Ocean Beach be utilized once to push the Ocean side Great Highway dunes down to beach level so the remaining dune is flush with walking path at Kirkham and Lawton? The dunes have gotton so high that winds now blow too much sand up the streets, destroying all plants during windy times. Plant ice plant rather than grass on leveled dunes so that new sand does not climb up grass and create new, high dunes. Also, homeless people sleep in these high dunes so leveled dunes might make it more safe for neighborhood. Getting Organized 08/04/2009
