City did a beautiful job with Heisler Park renovation

Editor:

I am a long time resident of North Laguna and have been taking almost daily walks in Heisler Park for years. Being a creature of habit it was very difficult for me to have to walk around the fencing that surrounded most of the Park for so many months while the City and its contractors worked feverishly to complete the rebuilding and upgrading of the facility. Since the Park reopened in early July, I have again been able to enjoy my daily walks. Seeing my friends and having my dog catch up with old acquaintances has added much to my daily jaunts in the Park.

I simply cannot say enough good things about the beautiful job the City has done in completing the renovation of Heisler Park. Everything is done to perfection and is tasteful and very well executed. The stone work on the multiple walls and walkways is an artistic accomplishment. The new restrooms are spacious, light and airy, and the architecture blends in to the environment seamlessly. The new drinking fountains are a special delight and Luna especially appreciates the dog water fountains that allow her to get a drink without having to stand on her toes.

The landscaping compliments the Park and adds much to the experience of walking through this amazing coastal greenbelt.

Lastly, I want to heap lots of thanks and appreciation on the City's staff that are doing a spectacular job of maintaining the Park and keeping it looking so beautiful. It is readily apparent that the maintenance workers truly care about the Park and want it to look its best.

Congratulations and a huge thank you to all involved with again making Heisler Park the special place it is and for keeping it so pristine.
