“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
DeForest Wetlands Saturday morning.The new open space, just south of DeForest Park and next to the Los Angeles River, was once an overgrown illegal trash dump that has been converted to a river parkway with freshwater wetlands, trails and native plants. Redeveloping the wetlands cost $8.5 million – money that came from county, state and regional agencies – and is part of the city’s much larger RiverLink park master plan. The park, on land owned by Los Angeles County, is designated as passive recreational space, officials say – a place where visitors can bird watch, horseback ride or just walk around. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at the park entrance, at Chestnut and DeForest avenues. Mayor Robert Garcia, councilmen Rex Richardson and Al Austin, and other city officials will be there. More information: 562-570-3150.
