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.

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.
