Lots of good stuff happening all of a sudden. A couple of years ago, I asked my friend, Steve Jones, who at that time was mayor of La Mirada, if we could get some playground equipment put in our park down the street. Creek park is a walking park. It's very beautiful, but there's not much for kids to do there except run. It's basically a V shaped, very long park. It's a steep valley with a creek running down the middle.
Steve Jones told me he didn't think they would put anything in because that wasn't the purpose this park served, being a walking park.
Fast forward 2 years. I had been down to the park and felt the same way still. There's not much for my kids to do there in this part so close to our house, so I emailed Steve Jones again. This time, I, by serendipity, got to him just before the finalized the city budget and they passed a measure to put in the playground equipment! I don't know what it will be, but I'm very happy it's coming. Maybe I can finally go there and play on the swings!
