Speakers highlight District 5 plans for Los Vicinos park, skate area and pickleball court

Unidentified Speaker 3, an unidentified speaker who discussed District 5 projects, said the East Mountain celebration included an update on planning and construction for the area.

"We are out here today talking about all of the different projects that are currently in planning and construction for the East Mountain Territory for District 5," Speaker 3 said, and specifically cited Los Vicinos: "phase 1, which is about ready to wrap up, which is the brand new park and skate park, new playground, new multi court with pickleball."

Why it matters: The project descriptions signal near-term neighborhood recreation investments that could affect where residents recreate and how the community uses open space. Officials and organizers framed the work as part of an effort to expand amenities in District 5.

Details: According to the remarks, Los Vicinos Phase 1 will include a new park, a skate park, a playground and a multi-use court with pickleball. No construction schedule dates, contractor names, funding amounts or permit details were stated in the transcript.

Community engagement and next steps: Event speakers also described a related community trail and interactive features intended to show residents what investments are occurring and to collect feedback (see separate coverage). The transcript does not record formal votes, funding approvals, or additional staff follow-up directives related to Los Vicinos during this event.
