                    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

                    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.
