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.
