Summary
San Joaquin County Supervisor Gardia told the Stockton Parks and Recreation Commission that a $1.25 million fund is on the county docket for park security and upgrades, and that smart restrooms and equipment purchases for county parks are scheduled across the 2024–26 budgets.
San Joaquin County Supervisor Mario Gardia told the commission on Jan. 27 that the county has a $1,250,000 item on its agenda that would fund park security measures and other park improvements through the general services and parks and recreation divisions.
Gardia said the allocation would be used to secure parks with fencing and to invest in infrastructure that can be maintained; the county is also budgeting “smart” restroom installations for many parks, with roughly half of the installations slated for completion between September and October of the current budget year and the remainder planned for the 2025–26 budget cycle. He also said county staff plan upgrades at Mickey’s Grove regional sports complex, including aerators, new lawn-mowing equipment and irrigation improvements.
Gardia indicated the funding item is on the county docket for consideration tomorrow and asked commissioners and attendees to note the forthcoming county actions.
